I saw her from a distance as she walked up to the wall 
D                                 G                      A  
In her hand she held some flowers, as her tears began to fall 
    D                      G                   D 
She took out pen and paper as to trace her mem'ries 
         Bm                  G                            D

She said, "Lord my boy was special, and he meant so much to me 
    G                                              A 
And Oh, I'd love to see him just one more time you see 
      G                                          D      D/C#  Bm 
All I have are the mem'ries and the moments to recall 
   G                            A                       D 
So Lord could you tell him he's more than a name on the wall"

She said, "He really missed the family, 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 
And Lord this time I know, he's not coming home to me" 
 
 
Chorus 2: 
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 mem'ries and the moments to recall 
But Lord could you tell him he's more than a name on the wall" 
 
Lord could you tell him he's more than a name on the wall
