Christmas Shoes

Christmas Shoes is one of my favorite christmas movies to watch and I love the christmas song to. If you dont know about the song Bob Carisle sings it. Its really good. Theres a book about it to that is really good also.

Heres the song if you want to know it. Its a tear jerker.

The Christmas Shoes
By Eddie Carswell and Leonard Ahlstron

It was almost Christmas time
And there I stood in another line
Trying to buy the last gift or two
Not really in the Christmas mood
Standing right infront 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 couldn't believe what I heard him say

Chorus

Sir I want to buy these shoes
For my momma, please

It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, sir
Daddy says theres 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

They counted pennies for what seemed like years

Then the cashier said, son, there's not enough here
He searched his pockets frantically
And then he turned and he looked at me
He said, momma made Christmas good at our house

Though, most years, she just did without
Tell me sir, what am I going to do
Somehow I've got buy her these Christmas shoes

So I laid the money down
I just had to help out
And I'll never forget the look on his face
When he said momma's gonna look so great

Repeat Chorus

I knew I cought a glimpse of heavens love
As he thanked me and ran out
I knew that God had sent me that little boy
To remind me of what Christmas is all about

Repeat chorus

Isnt it a pretty song. I love it.
