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

I knew that God had sent that little boy to remind me

Just what Christmas is all about.
