The Christmas Shoes (Christmas Bonus) Lyrics



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

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

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

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
