 Struggling with At Last? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!

At last my love has come along
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
