[Verse 1]
C F C
I saw her from a distance as she walked up to the wall
F G7
In her hand she held some flowers as her tears began to fall
C F C
She took out pen and paper as to trace her memories
G7 C
She looked up to heaven and the words she said were these
[Chorus]
C7 F C
She said Lord my boy was special and he meant so much to me
F G7
And oh I'd love to see him just one more time you see
F C
All I have are the memories and the moments to recall
F G7 C
So Lord could you tell him he's more than a name on the wall
[Verse 2]
C F C
She said he really missed the family being home on Christmas day
F G7
And he died for God and country in a place so far away
C F C
I remember just a little boy playing war since he was three
G7 C
And Lord this time I know he's not coming home to me
[Chorus]
C7 F C
She said Lord my boy was special and he meant so much to me
F G7
And oh I'd love to see him but I know it just can't be
F C
So I thank you for my memories and the moments to recall
F G7 C
But Lord could you tell him he's more than a name on the wall
[Outro]
F G7 C
Lord could you tell him he's more than a name on the wall
