You Haven't Seen the Last of Me!


Looking back on the past year, I remember how amazing it has been but also how hard it has been. This past year brought me great joy at the end but it took a path from hell to get there. This year tested me and threatened to break me but it didn't! It didn't! This is the part I have decided to remember. I have chosen to forget the pain, the heartbreak and the tears and remember the smiles, the blessings and the happiness! I refused to let this year break me and I am continuing this inner strength by remembering the great moments! I have the best family, boyfriend and friends in the world and they help me through my darkest moments. They are amazing.

I have a huge collection of music that includes music from almost every genre...my sister calls my ipod
schizophrenic because of this vast variation. I have a song (or more) for every happy moment and sad moment of my life. I have a song for every person who has broken my heart, every friendship lost and every loved one that has left this earth. I have a million songs for happy times and my love for my family, Bill and friends. I have songs for every moment of my life. Songs are much more to me than words, they are life set to music. So, why should this year be any different than the rest of my life? Recently I saw Burlesque with Laura, then again with Laura and Kristin. I love this movie, go see it. Even more, I love the songs. I own the soundtrack (thanks to Laura) and there is one song I listen to repeatedly. This song sent tingles down my legs the first time I heard it performed and it rings true to me for this year. This song is, "You Haven't Seen the Last of Me" and it was performed by Cher. This song is powerful and it sums up my life, especially this past year. So, I thought I would share the lyrics and song here and hope that it touches someone else's life because I know it has summarized mine. Enjoy!

Feeling broken
Barely holding on
But there’s just something so strong
Somewhere inside me
And I am down but I’ll get up again
Don’t count me out just yet

I’ve been brought down to my knees
And I’ve been pushed way past the point of breaking
But I can take it
I’ll be back
Back on my feet
This is far from over

You haven’t seen the last of me
You haven’t seen the last of me

They can say that
I won’t stay around
But I’m gonna stand my ground
You’re not gonna stop me
You don’t know me
You don’t know who I am
Don’t count me out so fast

I’ve been brought down to my knees
And I’ve been pushed way past the point of breaking
But I can take it
I’ll be back
Back on my feet
This is far from over

You haven’t seen the last of me

There will be no fade out
This is not the end
I’m down now
But I’ll be standing tall again
Times are hard but
I was built tough
I’m gonna show you all what I’m made of

I’ve been brought down to my knees
And I’ve been pushed way past the point of breaking
But I can take it
I’ll be back
Back on my feet
This is far from over
I am far from over

You haven’t seen the last of me

No no
I’m not going nowhere
I’m staying right here
Oh no
You won’t see me begging
I’m not taking my bow
Can’t stop me

It’s not the end
You haven’t seen the last of me
Oh no
You haven’t seen the last of me
You haven’t seen the last of me

  2. It is such an amazing movie and this song by Cher did the same thing to me. I remember we wouldn't shut up through the whole movie except for this part! I remember we were dead silent during this part! THE BEST!
