Lyrics

I found You in the most unlikely way
But really it was You who found me
And I found myself in the gifts that You gave
You gave me so much and I

I wish You could stay
but I’ll, I’ll wait for the day

Chorus
And I watch as the cold winter melts into spring
And I’ll be remembering You
Oh and I’ll smell the flowers and hear the birds sing
and I’ll be remembering You, I’ll be remembering You

From the first moment when I heard Your name
Something in my heart came alive
You showed me love and no words could explain
A love with the power to
Open the door
To a world I was made for

Chorus
And I watch as the cold winter melts into spring
And I’ll be remembering You
Oh and I’ll smell the flowers and hear the birds sing
and I’ll be remembering You, I’ll be remembering You

The dark night, the hard fight
The long climb up the hill knowing the cost
The brave death, the last breathe
The silence whispering all hope was lost
The thunder, the wonder
A power that brings the dead back to life

I wish You could stay
But I’ll wait for the day
And though You’ve gone away
You come back and

Chorus
And I watch as the cold winter melts into spring
And I’ll be remembering You
Oh and I’ll smell the flowers and hear the birds sing
and I’ll be remembering You, I’ll be remembering You

And I’ll watch as the sun fills a sky that was dark
And I’ll be remembering You
And I’ll think of the way that You fill up my heart
And I’ll be remembering You

I’ll be remembering You
I’ll be remembering You
I’ll be remembering You

I’ll be remembering You

“Remembering You” is a song from the perspective of a lot of the characters at the end of the story saying, ‘whenever I see the first signs of spring, I’ll be remembering you, Aslan, the story and what is to come.'”

Steven Curtis Chapman on being a part of this soundtrack:
I was very excited to be a part of something that is this historic. It’s a real privilege to have any kind of connection to The Chronicles of Narnia, this film is going to be so massive and its going to have such an impact on our culture. Great stories never die. And whenever you find a story that has all the elements that make a compelling adventure like Narnia, it doesn’t matter what time period or generation it’s being told to or read to, it’s still a great story and it captures your imagination.

The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe leaves me with a constant reminder… that every time I experience spring or new life or a new day, that these are a picture of redemption and of restoration. I want to remember what that means and what that represents, and that this truth is not just for things in the past, but also this hope is for the future.

I wrote the song “Remembering You” that is from the perspective of a lot of the characters in the book, it could be Lucy, it could be any of the children at the end of the story saying, “Whenever I see the first signs of spring, I’m going to be remembering you. I’m going to be remembering Aslan, remembering the story and what is to come.”

Behind the Song

So much has already been brilliantly communicated by C. S. Lewis with this story, so writing for it was an overwhelming task. This story leaves me wanting to remember what it means to experience spring or new life. ‘Remembering You’ is a song from the perspective of a lot of the characters at the end of the story, saying, ‘Whenever I see the first signs of spring, I’ll be remembering you, Aslan, the story and what is to come. -Steven Curtis Chapman
