The Christmas Shoes Lyrics

The Christmas Shoes lyrics

It was almost Christmas time, 

 There I stood in another line 

 Trying 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. 

 And his clothes were worn and old. 

 He was dirty from head to toe, 

 And when it came his time to pay, 

 I couldnt believe what I heard him say. 

 

 Chorus: 

 

 Sir, I wanna buy these shoes for my momma 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; 

 Know these shoes will make her smile. 

 Want her to look beautiful if Momma meets Jesus tonight. 

 

 

 He counted pennies for what seemed like years 

 Then the cashier said Theres not enough here. 

 He searched his pockets frantically 

 Then he turned and he looked at me. 

 He said Momma made Christmas good at our house 

 Though most years she just did without. 

 Tell me, Sir, what am I gonna do? 

 Somehow Ive got to buy these Christmas shoes! 

 So I laid the money down; 

 I just had to help him out. 

 And Ill never forget the look on his face 

 When he said Mommas gonna look so great! 

 

 Chorus 

 

 I knew that I got a glimpse of heavens love 

 As he thanked me and ran out. 

 I knew that God had sent that little boy to remind me 

 What Christmas is all about. 

 Chorus in childrens voices 

 

 Young boy: 

 I want her to look beautiful 

 If Momma meets Jesus tonight.
