Beyonce Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My lonely days are over
And life is like a song
Oh yeah, yeah
At last the skies above are blue
My heart was wrapped up in clover
The night I looked at you
I found a dream that I could speak to
A dream that I can call my own
I found a thrill to press my cheek to
A dream that I have never known
Oh yeah, you smile
Oh, and then the spell was cast
And here we are, in heaven
For you are mine at last, at last, at last, at last
Beyoncé’s rendition of the classic Etta James song At Last is a love song that speaks of finally finding someone who completes you. The song begins with the lyrics “At last my love has come along, my lonely days are over, and life is like a song”. These lyrics wonderfully encapsulate the essence of the song as they showcase the joy and relief that comes with finding true love.
This is followed by the lyrics “At last the skies above are blue, my heart was wrapped up in clover, the night I looked at you”. These lyrics can be interpreted as a metaphor for finding hope and happiness after a long period of darkness and despair. The mention of clover, which represents good luck, further highlights the significance of the moment.
The second half of the song speaks of the dream that the singer has found i.e. someone who she can talk to, someone she can call her own, someone who thrills and excites her. The lyrics “and then the spell was cast and here we are in heaven” further highlight the magnitude of the moment and the joy that comes with finally finding true love.
Overall, the song At Last is a timeless classic that speaks to the heart of many. The lyrics are simple yet effective and Beyoncé’s powerful vocals add a layer of depth and emotion that make it an absolute delight to listen to.

Ive never been the biggest beyonce fan bcz of the style of music
This brings her right back to the forefront for me
To be able to sing this iconic classic music
It really puts her leagues above others
Same with gaga
@johnjackson775able
Beyoncé should do more blues/soul music
@tuershen4441
Not many people will buy her music then. R'member when Lady gaga was told to do jazz or classic type music since she's classically trained as well? Not many people bought her jazz album when she released one. Though I have it and it was a great album.
@leahmoten3231
Jefrey you're crazy she has the biggest fan base in the world and 95% of them would still by her albums even if she sang jazz and blues so
@leahmoten3231
Jefrey buy*
@zedsreignzero5197
Agreed! Her voice is so beautiful I wish she would. Bringing back this style of singing would be wonderful!
