Sobre el álbum
El álbum At Last, de 2003, es una elegante y sofisticada incursión de Cyndi Lauper en el Gran Cancionero Americano. En este trabajo la artista decide aparcar temporalmente la composición de material propio para rendir un homenaje a los grandes estándares del jazz, el pop y el soul de mediados del siglo XX. Es una demostración de su increíble versatilidad como intérprete.
Cyndi Lauper aborda un repertorio de clásicos inmortales, popularizados en su día por leyendas como Etta James (en la canción que da título al disco), Frank Sinatra o Édith Piaf. Para ello, se rodea de una orquesta y de arreglos de jazz de una calidad excepcional, creando una atmósfera de club nocturno, íntima y llena de glamour.
Su voz única y llena de matices brilla con una luz especial en este contexto. Su interpretación de temas como "Unchained Melody" o "La Vie en Rose" es respetuosa con el original pero muy personal. El álbum le valió una nominación al Grammy, un reconocimiento de la crítica a su talento como vocalista de jazz.
'At Last' fue un éxito comercial notable, demostrando que su público estaba dispuesto a acompañarla en sus aventuras estilísticas. Es un trabajo de una gran clase y calidad musical, un testimonio de que una gran voz como la de Cyndi Lauper puede habitar cualquier género con una solvencia y una emoción extraordinarias.

If you see me walking down the street And I start to cry each time we meet Walk on by, walk on by Make believe That you don't see the tears Just let me grieve in private 'Cause each time I see you I break down and cry Walk on by I just can't get over losing you And so if I seem broken and blue Walk on by, walk on by Foolish pride Is all that I have left So let me hide The tears and the sadness you gave me When you said goodbye Walk on by Walk on by I just can't get over losing you And so if I seem broken and blue Walk on by, walk on by Foolish pride Is all that I have left So let me hide The tears and the sadness you gave me When you said goodbye Walk on by Don't you know you better walk on by I said, “Walk, walk walk” Don't you know you better walk on by I said, “Walk, walk walk “ Don't you know you better walk on by I said, “Walk, walk walk” Don't you know you better walk on by I said, “Walk, walk walk “ Don't you know you better walk on by Don't you know you better walk on by Don't you know you better walk on by Don't you know you better walk on by - Stay3:15

Letra
Hold me close and hold me fast The magic spell you cast This is la vie en rose When you kiss me heaven sighs And though I close my eyes I see La vie en rose When you press me to your heart I'm in a world apart A world where roses bloom And when you speak, angels sing from above Everyday words seem to turn into love songs Give your heart and soul to me And life will always be La vie en rose - Unchained Melody4:27
Letra
Whoa! My love, my darling, I hunger for your touch, Alone. Lonely time. And time goes by, so slowly, And time can do so much, Are you still mine? I need your love. I need your love. God speed your love to me. Lonely rivers flow to the sea, to the sea, To the open arms of the sea. Lonely rivers sigh, wait for me, wait for me, I'll be coming home, wait for me. Whoa! My love, my darling, I hunger, hunger!, for your love, For love. Lonely time. And time goes by, so slowly, And time can do so much, Are you still mine? I need your love. I need your love. God speed your love to me. - If You Go Away4:29
Letra
If you go away On this summer day Then you might as well Take the sun away All the birds that flew In the summer sky And our love was new And our hearts were high When the day was young And the night was long And the moon stood still For the night bird song If you go away, if you go away, if you go away But if you stay I'll make you a day Like no day has ever been Or will be again We'll sail on the sun We'll ride on the rain We'll talk to the trees And worship the wind And if you go I'll understand Leave me just enough love To hold in my hand If you go away, if you go away, if you go away If you go away As I know you will You must tell the world to stop turning Till you return to me If you ever do, Oh what good is love without loving you? I can tell you now, as you turn to go I'll be dying slowly Till your next hello If you go away, if you go away, if you go away, But if you stay I'll make you a night Like no night has ever been Or will be again I'll sail on you smile I'll ride on your touch I'll talk to your eyes That I love so much But if you go I'll understand Leave me just enough love To hold in my hand If you go away, if you go away, if you go away, if you go away If you go away, like I know you must There will be nothing left in the world to trust Just an empty room, full of empty space Like that empty look I see on your face I'd've been the shadow of your shadow If I though it might have kept me by your side If you go away, if you go away, if you go away - Until You Come Back To Me (That's What I'm Gonna Do)4:39

- Hymn To Love3:37
Letra
If the sky should fall into the sea And the stars fade all around me For the times that we have known I will sing a hymn to love We have lived and dreamed we two alone In a world that's seemed our very own With it's memory ever grateful Just for you i'll sing my hymn to love I remember each embrace The smile that lights your face And my heart begins to sing Your arms and hands secure Your eyes that said be sure And my heart begins to sing If one day we had to say goodbye And our love would fade away and die In my heart you will remain I will sing a hymn to love Those who love will live eternally In the blue we'll roll this harmony With my voice raised high to heaven Just for you, i'll sing a hymn to love Just for you i sing a hymn to love - On The Sunny Side Of The Street4:05
Letra
Grab your coat and take your hat Leave your worries on the doorstep Life can be so sweet On the sunny side on the street Do you know the peter-pan That time that's in my step Life can be complete On the sunny side on the street I used to walk in the shade with my blues on parade Now i'm not afraid...this rover has crossed over If i never made another cent I'd be rich as rockefeller Gold dust at my feet On the sunny side on the street Grab your coat and take your hat Leave your worries on the doorstep Life can be complete On the sunny side on the street Do you know the peter-pan That tune that's in my step Life can be so sweet On the sunny side on the street I used to walk in the shade with my blues on parade Now i'm not afraid...this rover has crossed over If i never made another cent I'll still be rich as rockefeller Gold dust at my feet On the sunny side on the street
