Tryin' to buy that last gift or two, not (2)____________ in the Christmas mood
Standing right in front of me was a little boy waiting anxiously
Pacing 'round (3)________ little boys do
And in his hands he held a pair of shoes

And His (4)______________ (5)________ 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 (6)__________ are (7)________ her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not much time
You see she's been (8)________ for quite a while
And I know these shoes would make her smile
And I want her to look (9)__________________ if Mama meets Jesus tonight

He counted pennies for what seemed like years
Then the (10)______________ said, Son, there's not enough here
He searched his (11)______________ frantically
Then he turned and he looked at me
He said Mama (12)________ (13)__________________ good at our house
Though most years she (14)________ did without
Tell me Sir, what am I going to do,
Somehow I've got to buy her these Christmas shoes

So I laid the money down, I (15)________ had to help him out
I'll never forget the look on his (16)________ when he said
Mama's (17)__________ look so great

Sir, I want to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and (18)__________ shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not (19)________ time
You see she's been sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes would make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if (20)________ meets Jesus tonight

To (21)____________ me what Christmas is all about


Sir, I want to buy (22)__________ shoes for my Mama, please
It's (23)__________________ Eve and these (24)__________ are just her size
