Verse
D# A#
It was almost Christmas time,
D# G#
There I stood in another line
D# F
Trying to buy the last gift or two,
D# A#
Not really in the Christmas mood.
D# G#
Standing right in front of me
D# F
Was a little boy waiting anxiously,
D# G#
Pacing round like little boys do,
D# Fm
And in his hands, were a pair of shoes.
D# A#
And his clothes were worn and old.
D# G#
He was dirty from head to toe,
D# F
And when it came his time to pay,
G# A#
I couldn't believe what I heard him say.
CHORUS
C#m
Sir, I wanna buy these shoes for my momma please.
Cm
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size.
A#
Could you hurry, Sir?
Cm
Daddy says there's not much time.
C#m
You see she's been sick for quite a while;
A#
And I, know these shoes will make her smile.
Cm
And I, want her look beautiful if Momma meets Jesus tonight.
Verse Two
D# A#
He counted pennies for what seemed like years
D# G#
Then the cashier said Son there's not enough here.
D# F
He searched his pockets so frantically
D# A#
Then he turned and he looked at me.
D# G# C#m
He said Momma made Christmas good... At our house
D# F
Though most years she just did without.
D# G#
Tell me, Sir, what am I gonna do?
D# Fm
Somehow I've got to buy these Christmas shoes!
D# A#
So I laid the money down;
D# G#
I just had to help him out.
D# F
I'll never forget the look on his face
G# A#
When he said Mommas gonna look so great!
Repeat Chorus
Verse Three
D# A#
I knew that I got a glimpse of heavens love
D# G#
As he thanked me and ran out.
D# F
I knew that God had sent that little boy to remind me
D# A#
Just what Christmas is all about.
D# G#
I got a glimpse of heavens love
D# F
As he thanked me and ran out.
D# Fm
I knew that God had sent that little boy to remind me
G# A#
Just what Christmas is all about.
Repeat Chorus two times
There it is. Pretty simple song but it is fun to rock out to in December!
