Christmas Shoes Lyrics - Bob Carlisle

It was almost Christmas time 

There I stood in another line 

Trying to buy that last gift or two 

I'm really in the Christmas mood 

Standing right in front of me 

Was a little boy waiting anxiously 

Pacing around 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 wanna buy these shoes for my momma 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 will make her smile 

And I want her to look beautiful if momma meets Jesus tonight" 

They counted pennies for what seemed like years 

And the cashier says, "Son, there's not enough here" 

He searched his pockets franticly 

Then he turned and he looked at me 

And he said, "Momma made Christmas good at our house 

Most years she just did without 

Tell me sir, what am I gonna do 

Somehow I gotta 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, "Momma's gonna look so great"

"Sir, I wanna buy these shoes for my momma 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 will make her smile 

And I want her to look beautiful if momma meets Jesus tonight" 

I knew I 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 wanna buy these shoes for my momma 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 will make her smile 

And I want her to look beautiful if momma meets Jesus tonight 

I want her to look beautiful if momma meets Jesus tonight"
