I saw her from a distanceAs she walked up to the wallIn her hand she held some flowersAs her tears began to fallShe took out a pen and paperAs to trace her memoriesShe looked up to Heaven And the words she said were theseShe said, "Lord my boy was specialAnd he meant so much to me"And oh I'd love to see himJust one more time you seeAll I have are the memoriesAnd moments to recallBut Lord could you tell himHe's more than a name on a wall"She said, "He really missed the familyAnd being home on Christmas day"And he died for God and countryIn a place so far awayI remember just a little boySongtextePlaying a war since he was threeBut Lord this time I knowHe's not coming home to meShe said, "Lord my boy was specialAnd he meant so much to me"And oh I'd love to see himBut I know it just can't beSo I thank you for my memoriesAnd the moments to recallBut Lord could you tell himHe's more than a name on a wallLord could you tell himHe's more than a name on a wall Aus Songtexte Mania
