Jimmy Fortune - More Than A Name On A Wall Lyrics

I saw her from a distance, as she walked up to the wall

In her hand she held some flowers, as her tears began to fall

She took out pen and paper as to trace her mem'ries

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 mem'ries and the moments to recall

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"

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"
