It was almost Christmas time,
Em G
There I stood in another line,
C D
Trying to buy that last Gift or two,
Am7 D
Not really in the Christmas mood.
G
Standing right in front of me,
Em G
Was a little boy waiting anxiously,
C D
Pacing round Like little boys do,
Am7 D G
And in his hands he held a pair of shoes.
Em D
And his clothes were worn and old,
Em D
He was dirty from head to toe
Am7 G/B
And when it came his time to pay,
G D
I couldn?t believe what I heard him say.

They counted pennies for what seemed like years,
F
Then the cashier said son there's not enough here,
D E
He searched his pockets frantically,
Bm7 E
Then he turned and looked at me.

He said, Momma made Christmas good at our house,
F
Though most years she just did without,
D E
Tell me Sir what am I gonna do
Bm7 E A
Some how I?ve got to buy her these Christmas shoes.

And I?ll never forget the look on his face

When he said mommas gonna look so great.
