And he meant so much to me"
But Lord could You tell him
She said "Lord my boy was special
In her hand she held some flowers
And he died for God and country
And the moments to recall
But Lord this time I know
All I have are the memories
In a place so far away
Lord could You tell him
She took out pen and paper
He's more than a name on a wall
So Lord could You tell him
She said "He really missed the family
And being home on Christmas day"
She looked up to Heaven
She said "Lord my boy was special
I saw her from a distance
And oh I'd love to see him
Songwriters: Jimmy Fortune, John Rimel
As to trace her memories
As she walked up to the wall
He's not coming home to me
But I know it just can't be

I remember just a little boy
As her tears began to fall
He's more than a name on a wall
So I thank You for my memories
Playing war since he was three
Just one more time You see
And the words she said were these
And the moments to recall
And oh I'd love to see him
And he meant so much to me"
He's more than a name on a wall
