Christmas Shoes - Fm Static

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.
