Christmas Shoes-New Song
It was almost Christmas time
There I stood in another line
Trying to buy that last gift or two
I'm really in the Christmas mood
Standing right in front of me
Was a little boy waiting anxiously
Pacing around 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
Sir I wanna buy these shoes for my Momma 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, 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 seem like years
And cashier says son there's not enough here
He searches is pockets franticly
And he turned and he looked at me
And he said Momma made Christmas good at our house
Most years she just did without
Tell me Sir
What am I gonna do?
Some how I’ve got to buy her these Christmas shoes
So I layed the money down
I just had to help him out
And I'll never forget
The look on his face
When he said Momma's gonna look so great.
Sir I wanna buy these shoes, for my Momma 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, 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.
I knew I caught a glimpse of heavens love as he thanked me and ran out.
I know that God had sent that little boy to remind me
What Christmas is all about
Sir I wanna buy these shoes for my Momma 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 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
I want her to look beautiful
If Momma meets Jesus tonight
Doesn't that song just make you wanna cry? I always joke that I'm more boyish that most of my guy friends but every now and then a song like that comes on or a really cheesy romance movie is playing (like The Holiday <3) and I realize that I'm SUCH a girl it's ridiculous.
Also, I LOVE the super traditional version of sleigh bells. You know, the instrumental one? EVERYONE knows it. Everytime I hear it, I choreograph this dance that the Rockettes perform in my mind [cause i'm crazy]. The only thing that gets me is that as much as I love the song, there's a part near the middle-end where the cowbell comes in and he's a touch to fast. Being very into music, a former band geek and someone who has a really good ear for pitch and timing, it drives me CRAZY! Like eye twitchy crazy. It almost ruins the song for me. Except that I can't help but love it anyway. I wish they would re-record it with proper cowbell beats.
Someone should direct me to an icon journal with really excellen xmas icons. Cause I need one.
