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

And standin roght in front of me was a

Little boy waitind anxiously

Pacin around like little boys do

And in his hands he held

A pair of shoes



His clothes were worn and old

He was dirty from head to toe

And when it came his time to pay

I couldn't beleive 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



They counted penny's for what seemed like years then the
