great song. this song is one of the best christmas songs ever.

this is the sweetest somng EVER!
it almost made me cry.....

Like many others, I cried the very first time I heard this song a year ago. It's so terribly sad, but so sweet, too. I'm getting teary-eyed now, just listening to it again for the first time in twelve months. It's a beautiful song, it really, really is. And now I'm in tears.

Amazing song, it's so touching, and really, just... I'm speechless. And, honestly, I can see a little boy doing something like this for his mother.

i love this song so much- every single time i hear it, it makes me cry

this song is so adorable sweet, sad, omg, everytime i listen to it, i always try my best not to cry.

this made me cry the first time i heard it

I was wondering if anyone has the instrumental to this song..i really like the song and want to sing it for Christmas time at church..ehehh thank you this would help alot....if anyone has it please send it to my email at cpvang@hotmail.com thank you so much...

Cute ^^

nice

i just love this song

it was almost christmas time, there
i stood in another line
tryin' to buy that last gift or two,
not really in the christmas mood
standing right in front of me was a
little boy waiting anxiously
pacing ‘round like little boys do
and in his hands he held a pair of shoes
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 mama, please
it's christmas eve and these shoes are just her size
could you hurry, sir, daddy says there's not much time
you see mom's been sick for quite a while
and i know these shoes would make her smile
and i want her to look beautiful if mama meets jesus tonight

he counted pennies for what seemed like years
then the cashier said, son, there's not enough here
he searched his pockets frantically
then he turned and he looked at me
he said mama 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 to buy her these christmas shoes

i just had to help him out and as i laid the money down
i'll never forget the look on his face when he said
mama's gonna look so great

chorus

bridge:
i knew i'd 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 just what christmas is all about

chorus
