I saw her from a distance as she walked up to The Wall In her hand she held some flowers and her tears began to fall She took out pen and paper, as to trace her memories And she looked up to heaven, and the words she said were these ...
She said, Lord, my boy was special, and he meant so much to me And, oh, I'd love to see him, just one more time you see All I have are the memories and the moments to recall So Lord, could you tell him, he's more than a name on a wall
She said, he really missed the family and being home on Christmas Day And he died for God and Country in a place so far away I remember just a little boy, playing war since he was three But Lord, this time I know he's not coming home to me
She said, Lord, my boy was special, and he meant so much to me And, oh, I'd love to see him, but I know it just can't be So I thank you for my memories and the moments to recall So Lord, could you tell him, he's more than a name on a wall
Lord, could you tell him, he's more than a name on a wall
