It was almost christmas time.
There I stood in another line, try to buy that last gift or two
I'm really in the x mas mood.
Standing right in front of me,
Was a little boy waiting anxiously,
Pacing around like little boys do
And in his hand a pair of shoes.
And his clothes were worn and old.
He was dirty from head to toe.
And when it comes 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 xmas eve and these shoes are just her size.
Could you hurry sir?
Daddy said 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 when mama meet Jesus tonight'.
They counted pennies for what seems like years,
and casher says 'son there's not enough here'.
He searched pockets franticly and he turned and he looked at me.
And he said 'mama made xmas good in our house,
most year she just did without.
Tell me sir what am I gonna do? The Christmas Shoes lyrics on

Somehow I gotta buy her these xmas shoes'.
So I lend the money down.
I just had to help him out.
And I'll never forget the loo0k on his face when he said
m'mama's gonna look so great'.
'Sir I wanna buy these shoes for my mama please
It's xmas eve and these shoes are just her size.
Could you hurry sir?
Daddy said 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 when mama meet Jesus tonight'.
I know I won't regret some help of love as he thanked and run out.
I know that God sent that little boy to remind me what xmas is all about?
Sir I wanna buy these shoes for my mama please
It's xmas eve and these shoes are just her size.
Could you hurry sir?
Daddy said 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 when mama meet Jesus tonight.
