    The Christmas Shoes

    It was almost Christmas time, there I stood in another line

    Tryin' to buy that last gift or two, not really in the Christmas mood

    Standing right in front of me was a little boy waiting anxiously

    Pacing 'round like little boys do

    And in his hands he held a pair of shoes

    His clothes were worn and old, he was dirty from head to toe

    And when it came his time to pay

    I couldn't believe what I heard him say

    Chorus:

    Sir, I want to buy these shoes for my Mama, please

    It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size

    Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not much time

    You see she's been sick for quite a while

    And I know these shoes would make her smile

    And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight

    He counted pennies for what seemed like years

    Then the cashier said, "Son, there's not enough here"

    He searched his pockets frantically

    Then he turned and he looked at me

    He said Mama made Christmas good at our house

    Though most years she just did without

    Tell me Sir, what am I going to do,

    Somehow I've got to buy her these Christmas shoes

    So I laid the money down, I just had to help him out

    I'll never forget the look on his face when he said

    Mama's gonna look so great

    Sir, I want to buy these shoes for my Mama, please

    It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size

    Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not much time

    You see she's been sick for quite a while

    And I know these shoes would make her smile

    And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight

    Bridge:

    I knew I'd caught a glimpse of heaven's love

    As he thanked me and ran out

    I knew that God had sent that little boy

    To remind me just what Christmas is all about

    Repeat Chorus

    Edit: Oh well, someone got it first. Yeah.

    i do no longer understand the call yet i understand what you're speaking approximately. "Sir i opt to purchase those footwear, for my mama please. it is Christmas Eve and those footwear are only her length...i desire her to look beautiful if mama meets Jesus this night."
