[Verse 1]
E
I saw her from a distance
A E
As she walked up to the wall
E
In her hand she held some flowers
A B9
As her tears began to fall
E
She took out pen and paper
A E
As to trace her memories
F#m7
She looked up to Heaven
B E
And the words she said were these
[Chorus]
F#m7 G#m A
She said "Lord my boy was special
A E
And he meant so much to me"
A
And oh I'd love to see him
B
Just one more time You see
A
All I have are the memories
E G#m/D# C#m
And the moments to recall
A
So Lord could You tell him
A/B B E Esus E
He's more than a name on a wall
[Verse 2]
E
She said "He really missed the family
A E
And being home on Christmas day"
E
And he died for God and country
A B9
In a place so far away
E
I remember just a little boy
A E
Playing war since he was three
F#m7
But Lord this time I know
B E
He's not coming home to me
[Chorus]
F#m7 G#m A
She said "Lord my boy was special
A E
And he meant so much to me"
A
And oh I'd love to see him
A B
But I know it just can't be
A
So I thank You for my memories
A E G#m/D# C#m
And the moments to recall
A
But Lord could You tell him
A/B E G#m/D# C#m
He's more than a name on a wall
[Tag]
A
Lord could You tell him
A/B B E Esus E Esus E
He's more than a name on a wall
