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
Then 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
