Christmas Shoes Lyrics - Christian Bautista

1 It was almost Christmas time, there I stood in another line

2 Tryin' to buy that last gift or two, not really in the Christmas mood

3 Standing right in front of me was a little boy waiting anxiously

4 Pacing 'round like little boys do

5 And in his hands he held a pair of shoes

6 His clothes were worn and old, he was dirty from head to toe

7 And when it came his time to pay

8 I couldn't believe what I heard him say

9 Sir, I want to buy these shoes for my Mama, please

10 It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size

11 Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not much time

12 You see she's been sick for quite a while

13 And I know these shoes would make her smile

14 And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight

15 He counted pennies for what seemed like years

16 Then the cashier said, "Son, there's not enough here"

17 He searched his pockets frantically

18 Then he turned and he looked at me

19 He said Mama made Christmas good at our house

20 Though most years she just did without

21 Tell me Sir, what am I going to do,

22 Somehow I've got to buy her these Christmas shoes

23 So I laid the money down, I just had to help him out

24 I'll never forget the look on his face when he said

25 Mama's gonna look so great

26 Sir, I want to buy these shoes for my Mama, please

27 It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size

28 Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not much time

29 You see she's been sick for quite a while

30 And I know these shoes would make her smile

31 And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight

32 Bridge:

33 I knew I'd caught a glimpse of heaven's love

34 As he thanked me and ran out

35 I knew that God had sent that little boy

36 To remind me just what Christmas is all about

37 Sir, I want to buy these shoes for my Mama, please

38 It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size

39 Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not much time

40 You see she's been sick for quite a while

41 And I know these shoes would make her smile

42 And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight
