Alabama - Christmas Shoes Lyrics

Send "Christmas Shoes" ringtone to your cell

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

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
