[00:00.00] 作曲 : Ahlstrom, Carswell
[00:13.840] It was almost Christmas time, there I stood in another line.
[00:21.950] Tryin’to buy that last gift or two, not really in the Christmas mood
[00:28.990] Standing right in front of me was a little boy waiting anxiously
[00:36.030] Pacing ’round like little boys do
[00:38.810] And in his hands he held a pair of shoes
[00:43.180] His clothes were worn and old, he was dirty from head to toe
[00:53.380] And when it came his time to pay
[00:58.070] I couldn’t believe what I heard him say
[01:02.120] Sir, I want to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
[01:08.880] It’s Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
[01:15.180] Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there’s not much time
[01:23.980] You see she’s been sick for quite a while
[01:29.230] And I know these shoes wll make her smile
[01:32.650] And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight
[01:39.790] He counted pennies for what seemed like years
[01:50.590] Then the cashier said, "Son, there's not enough here."
[01:54.650] He searched his pockets frantically
[01:57.750] Then he turned and he looked at me
[02:01.470] He said Mama made Christmas good at our house
[02:05.230] Though most years she just did without
[02:09.400] Tell me Sir, what am I going to do,
[02:12.600] Somehow I’ve got to buy her these Christmas shoes
[02:19.140] So I laid the money down, I just had to help him out
[02:25.570] I’ll never forget the look on his face when he said
[02:31.250] Mama’s gonna look so great
[02:35.180] Sir, I want to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
[02:43.520] It’s Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
[02:49.200] Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there’s not much time
[02:58.180] You see she’s been sick for quite a while
[03:02.100] And I know these shoes would make her smile
[03:06.080] And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight
[03:13.660] I knew I’d caught a glimpse of heaven’s love As he thanked me and ran out
[03:24.310] I knew that God had sent that little boy
[03:25.730] To remind me just what Christmas is all about
[03:38.770] Sir I wanna buy these shoes for my Momma please.
[03:44.950] It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size.
[03:50.180] Could you hurry Sir?
[03:54.910] Daddy says there's not much time.
[03:58.710] You see she's been sick for quite a while,
[04:02.750] And I know these shoes will make her smile.
[04:07.300] And I want her to look beautiful,
[04:10.350] If Momma meets Jesus tonight.
[04:18.370] I want her to look beautiful
[04:21.670] If Momma meet's Jesus tonight.
