Sir I wanna buy these shoes

Christmas Shoes

It was almost Christmas time

And 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 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

CHORUS

Sir I wanna 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 will 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 gonna do?

Some how 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,

"Mama's gonna look so great."

CHORUS

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

CHORUS

From the movie "Christmas Shoes". And yes, I know it's very much too early for Christmas, but I'm in the mood... all year round. Heehee. It's a really good movie. Sad, but really good. I cannot guarantee you won't cry (well, I did... blah... but we all know how easily I get touched by movies -.-). WATCH IT! If you feel like Christmas. =D
