"Christmas Shoes"

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 seemed like years
And the cashier says, "Son, there's not enough here"
He searched his pockets franticly
Then 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
Somehow I gotta buy her these Christmas shoes"

So I laid 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 heaven's love
As he thanked me and ran out
I knew 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"

Jim Vignato - Just The Way You Are/B.Joel

its seems my world by fate is filled with fear
with days so drawn and eyes unclear
i wish somehow i could take that from you
and help you change your dark skies to blue
ill find a way to help make things alright again

don’t worry
push your fears aside i’ll be there till the morning light
don’t worry 
wonderful things will come trust and you’ll believe our love is one
don’t worry
it’ll be alright i’ll be there just to hold you tight
don’t worry 
wonderful things will come trust and you’ll believe that loves begun

i will trade with your my trust for pain
and help you see right through the rain
if you trust in me i will prove to you
that there is nothing left to do
and i know a way ay ay
to help make things alright again

don’t worry
push your fears aside i’ll be there till the morning light
don’t worry 
wonderful things will come trust and you’ll believe our love is one
don’t worry
it’ll be alright i’ll be there just to hold you tight
don’t worry 
wonderful things will come trust and you’ll believe that loves begun

stop now listen to me 
clear your mind and your heart will be free
don’t worry

don’t worry
push your fears aside i’ll be there till the morning light
