Fm Static - Christmas shoes

^GIt was almost ^DChristmas time, ^GThere I stood ^Cin another line ^GTrying to buy the ^Alast gift or two, ^GNot really in the ^DChristmas mood. ^GStanding right ^Cin front of me ^GWas a little ^Aboy waiting anxiously, ^GPacing round like ^Clittle boys do, ^GAnd in his hands, ^Amwere a pair of shoes. ^GAnd his clothes ^Dwere worn and old. ^GHe was dirty ^Cfrom head to toe, ^GAnd when it came ^Ahis time to pay, ^CI couldn't believe what ^DI heard him say.

^FmSir, I wanna buy these shoes for my momma please. ^EmIt's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size. ^DCould you hurry, Sir' ^EmDaddy says there's not much time. ^FmYou see she's been sick for quite a while; ^DAnd I, know these shoes will make her smile. ^EmAnd I, want her look beautiful if Momma meets Jesus tonight.

^GHe counted pennies for ^Dwhat seemed like years ^GThen the cashier said ^CSon there's not enough here. ^GHe searched his ^Apockets so frantically ^GThen he turned and ^Dhe looked at me. ^GHe said Momma made ^CChristmas good... ^FmAt our house ^GThough most years ^Ashe just did without. ^GTell me, Sir, ^Cwhat am I gonna do' ^GSomehow I've got to buy these ^AmChristmas shoes! ^GSo I laid the ^Dmoney down; ^GI just ^Chad to help him out. ^GI'll never forget the ^Alook on his face ^CWhen he said Mommas ^Dgonna look so great!

^GI knew that I got a ^Dglimpse of heavens love ^GAs he thanked ^Cme and ran out. ^GI knew that God had sent that ^Alittle boy to remind me ^GJust what ^DChristmas is all about. ^GI got a glimpse ^Cof heavens love ^GAs he thanked ^Ame and ran out. ^GI knew that God had sent ^Amthat little boy to remind me ^CJust what ^DChristmas is all about.
