I saw her from a dis tance
and as she walked up to the (E)wall.
In her hand she held some flow ers,
as her tears be gan to fall.
I re (E)took out pen and pa per
as to trace her mem o ry.
She (F#m7)looked this up to heav en
and the words she said were these:
(G#m)She said, “Lord, my boy was spe cial,
and he meant so much to me.
And (A)though I’d love to see him
but just one more time, you see,
all I (A)have You are the mem ’ries
and the mo ments to re call.
But (A)Lord, could you tell him he’s (A)more than a name on a (E)wall.”
She said he real ly missed the fam ’ly
and be in’ home on Christ mas (E)Day.
In He died for God and coun try,
in a place so far a way.
I re (E)mem ber just a lit boy
play in’ war since he was three.
But, (F#m7)Lord, this time I know en
he’s not com in’ home to me.
(G#m)She said, “Lord, my boy was spe cial,
and he meant so much to me.
You (A)know I’d love to see him,
but I know it just can’t be.
So, I (A)thank You for my mem ’ries
and the mo ments to re call.
But (A)Lord, could you tell him he’s (A)more than a name on a (E)wall.”
She said he (E)wall.
(A)Lord, could you tell him he’s (A)more than a name on a (E)wall.
