It was almost Christmas time, 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 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 Chorus: Sir, I want to 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 would 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, theres 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 going to do, Somehow Ive got to 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 want to 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 would make her smile And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight Bridge: I knew Id caught a glimpse of heavens 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 Repeat Chorus Sir, I want to 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 would 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.
