More Than A Name On A Wall Lyrics - The Statler Brothers

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 memories 

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 memories 

And the moments to recall 

So Lord could You tell him 

He's more than a name on a wall 

She said "He really missed the family 

And 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 

But 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 memories 

And the moments to recall 

But Lord could You tell him 

He's more than a name on a wall 

Lord could You tell him 

He's more than a name on a wall 

Lord could you tell him 

He`s more than a name on a wall 

More than a name on a wall
