Lyrics

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.
