Bob Carlisle - Christmas shoes

Tekst :

It was almost christmas time
there i stood in another line
try to buy that last gift or two
im 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 hand he had
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
its christmas eve and these shoes are just her size
could u 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 seemed like years
and the cashier says son there s not enough here
he searches his pockets franticly
and he turned and he looked at me
and he said momma made christmas good in our house
most years she just did without
tell me sir
what am i gonna do?
some how i gotta buy her these christmas shoes

So i lend 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 u 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 know i caught a grip of heaven s love as he thanked me and ranout
i know that god 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 u 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

    Szczęśliwego Nowego Jorku

    Zabrałeś z sobą tajemnice swe, zgubiłeś gdzieś do życia chęć
    Uciekać jest najłatwiej, chociaż nie ma gdzie
    Wszędzie pełno twoich miejsc, jeszcze jesteś z nami

    Zdobyć świata szczyt, albo przeżyć jeden dzień
    Zapamiętać sny i zrozumieć jeden z nich
    Ten jeden najważniejszy wielki sen
    Ten jeden opowiedzieć im

    Got to move on

    Every time you walk away
    There s so many things that I like to say
    It isn t me so it is you I don t know what I ve gotta do
    When you re here I m feeling down feeling down

    What I feel...

    My side of town

    Boys are getting down
    Sisters fool around
    Let me tell you a tsory
    about my side of town

    Johnny was the sweetest kisser
    Thinking that he wouldn t miss her
    Little did he know
    That she would let him go
    Mary was a happy girl
    living in a different...

    It s like my mind is on a tredmill,

    This belt just keeps bringin me back,

    Let’s live in unison, calling every citizen
