What to know about ''A Sunday Kind of Love'' by Etta James
Originally written by Barbara Belle, Anita Leonard, Stan Rhodes, and Louis Prima in 1946, ''Sunday Kind of Love'' has since become a jazz standard. Etta James's version was released off of her 1960 album At Last! In 1988, The Voice Coach Reba McEntire recorded a version of the song, which reached the number five position on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts.
''Etta James isn’t here for any turmoil in 'A Sunday Kind of Love.' Instead, she wants a relationship that is more than love at first sight. She wants to grow old and be comfortable with her partner. While many love songs talk about hot, fiery passion, James delivers an anthem to the quiet life of domestic bliss,'' American Songwriter wrote of James's version in 2023.

The lyrics to ''A Sunday Kind of Love'' by Etta James
I want a Sunday kind of love
A love to last past Saturday night
And I'd like to know it's more than love at first sight
And I want a Sunday kind of love
Oh, yeah, yeah
I want a, a, a love that's on the square
Can't seem to find somebody
Someone to care
And I'm on a lonely road that leads to nowhere
I need a Sunday kind of love
I do my Sunday dreaming, oh, yeah
And all my Sunday scheming
Every minute, every hour, every day
Oh, I'm hoping to discover
A certain kind of lover
Who will show me the way
And my arms need someone
Someone to enfold
To keep me warm when Mondays and Tuesdays grow cold
Love for all my life, to have and to hold
Oh, and I want a Sunday kind of love
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
I don't want a Monday, Tuesday
A Wednesday or Thursday
Friday or Saturday
Oh, nothing but Sunday oh, yeah, yeah
I want a Sunday, Sunday
I want a Sunday kind of love
Oh, yeah
Sunday, Sunday, Sunday kind of love
