Christmas Shoes Lyrics - Alabama

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 

Standin 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

Sir, I wanna buy these shoes 

For my mama, please 

Its Christmas eve and these shoes are just her size 

Could you hurry, sir? 

Daddy says theres not much time 

You see, shes 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 

He counted pennies for what seemed like years 

And the, cashier said Son, theres not enough here. 

He searched his pockets franticly 

Then he turned and he looked at me 

He said Mama made Christmas good at our house 

Most years she just did without 

Tell me, sir, what am I gonna do 

Somehow Ive gotta buy her these Christmas shoes 

Photos 

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 Mamas gonna look so great 

Sir, I wanna buy these shoes 

For my mama, please 

Its Christmas eve and these shoes are just her size 

Could you hurry, sir? 

Daddy says theres not much time 

You see, shes 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 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 mama, please 

Its Christmas eve and these shoes are just her size 

Could you hurry, sir? 

Daddy says theres not much time 

You see, shes 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 want her to look beautiful 

If mama meets Jesus tonight
