FM Static - Christmas Shoes lyrics

rate me

It was almost Christmas time, <br />

There I stood in another line<br />

Trying to buy the last gift or two, <br />

Not really in the Christmas mood.<br />

Standing right in front of me<br />

Was a little boy waiting anxiously, <br />

Pacing round like little boys do, <br />

And in his hands, were a pair of shoes.<br />

And his clothes were worn and old.<br />

He was dirty from head to toe, <br />

And when it came his time to pay, <br />

I couldnt believe what I heard him say.<br />

<br />

Sir, I wanna buy these shoes for my momma please.<br />

It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size.<br />

Could you hurry, Sir?<br />

Daddy says there's not much time.<br />

You see she's been sick for quite a while; <br />

And I know these shoes will make her smile.<br />

And I want her to look beautiful if Momma meets Jesus tonight.<br />

<br />

He counted pennies for what seemed like years<br />

Then the cashier said Son there's not enough here.<br />

He searched his pockets so frantically<br />

Then he turned and he looked at me.<br />

He said Momma made Christmas good... At our house<br />

Though most years she just did without.<br />

Tell me, Sir, what am I gonna do?<br />

Somehow I've got to buy these Christmas shoes! <br />

So I laid the money down; <br />

I just had to help him out.<br />

I'll never forget the look on his face<br />

When he said Mommas gonna look so great! <br />

<br />

Sir, I wanna buy these shoes for my momma please.<br />

It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size.<br />

Could you hurry, Sir?<br />

Daddy says there's not much time.<br />

You see she's been sick for quite a while; <br />

And I know these shoes will make her smile.<br />

And I want her to look beautiful if Momma meets Jesus<br />

<br />

I knew that I got a glimpse of heavens love<br />

As he thanked me and ran out.<br />

I knew that God had sent that little boy to remind me<br />

What Christmas is all about.<br />

I got a glimpse of heavens love<br />

As he thanked me and ran out.<br />

I knew that God had sent that little boy to remind me<br />

What Christmas is all about.<br />

<br />

Sir, I wanna buy these shoes for my momma please.<br />

It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size.<br />

Could you hurry, Sir?<br />

Daddy says there's not much time.<br />

You see, she's been sick for quite a while; <br />

And I know these shoes will make her smile.<br />

And I want her to look beautiful if Momma meets Jesus<br />

<br />

Wanna buy these shoes for my momma please.<br />

It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size.<br />

Could you hurry, Sir?<br />

Daddy says there's not much time.<br />

You see, she's been sick for quite a while; <br />

And I know these shoes will make her smile.<br />

And I want her to look beautiful if Momma meets Jesus tonight.<br />

3 count Momma meets Jesus tonight<br />

3 count Momma meets Jesus tonight
