Karaoké Christmas Shoes 3 of Hearts

It was almost Christmas time there I stood in another line trying to buy a last gift or two

Not really in the Christmas mood

Standing right in front of me was a little boy waiting anxiously

Pacin' 'round like little boys do in his hands he held a pair of shoes

And his clothes were worn and old

He was dirty from head to toe

When it came his time to pay

I couldn't believe what I heard him say

I wanna buy these shoes for my momma please

It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size

Could you hurry please 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 momma meets Jesus tonight

He counted pennies for what seemed like years

The cashier said son there's not enough here

He searched his pockets frantically then he turned and he looked at me

He said momma made Christmas good at our house

But most years she just did without

Tell me what am I gonna do somehow 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 momma's gonna look so great

I wanna buy these shoes for my momma please

It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size

Could you hurry please daddy says there's not much time

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 momma meets Jesus tonight

I knew I 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 yeah what Christmas is all about

I wanna buy these shoes for my momma please if momma meets Jesus tonight
