Christmas Shoes (Cover)

It was almost christmas time

And 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 couldn't believe what I heard him say

Sir I wanna 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

Know these shoes will make her smile

And I want her to look beautiful

If mama meets jesus tonight

He counted pennies for what seemed like years

And cashier said son there's not enough

Here he searched his pockets frantically

Then he turned and he looked at me

Mama made christmas good in our house

Though most years she just did without

Tell me sir what am I gonna do

Somehow I've got to buy her these christmas shoes

So I laid the money down

I just had to help him out

And I'll never forget the look on his face

When he said momma's gonna look so great

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

And I know these shoes will make her smile

And I want her to look beautiful

If mama meets jesus tonight

I knew I 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

What christmas is all about

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

And I want her to look beautiful

If mama meets jesus tonight

I want her to look beautiful

If mama meets jesus

Tonight
