On a cold day in D.C. at the wall she touched his name In silence kissed his picture it'll never be the same As I watched her walk away from those that went beyond the call Thoughts go to those left behind and their lives beyond the wall Beyond the wall there's a story for every name written on that wall Special things are left there yet by those that won't for-g-et For every name memories go on beyond the wall I saw a ragged teddy bear was it someone's favorite toy From a son back to his daddy or a father to his boy And me I kept the promise to buy my friend a beer Here's to you old buddy I'll just leave it here Beyond the wall there's a story for every name written on that wall Special things are left there yet by those that won't for-g-et For every name memories go on beyond the wall
