Christmas Shoes Lyrics - Christian Bautista

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 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 

And 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 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
