It was almost Christmas time, there I stood in another line
Tryin' to buy that last gift or two, not really in the Christmas mood
Standing right in front of me was a little boy waiting anxiously
Pacing 'round like little boys do
And in his hands he held a pair of shoes
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
Chorus:
Sir, I want to buy these shoes for my Mama, 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 would make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight
He counted pennies for what seemed like years
Then the cashier said, "Son, there's not enough here"
He searched his pockets frantically
Then he turned and he looked at me
He said Mama made Christmas good at our house
Though most years she just 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 just had to help him out
I'll never forget the look on his face when he said
Mama's gonna look so great
Sir, I want to buy these shoes for my Mama, 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 would make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight
Bridge:
I knew I'd 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 just what Christmas is all about
谢谢思思姐姐帮我挂上试听链接。听着歌曲我的脑海里总会浮现出小男孩抱着给妈妈的红舞鞋冒着风雪飞跑在回家的路上。电影中没有出现全部的歌曲,但是反复重复着这一段:
Sir, I want to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
先生,我想为我妈妈买这双舞鞋。
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
这是平安夜,这鞋正合她的脚。
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not much time
请您快点,先生。爸爸说她的时间不多了,
You see she's been sick for quite a while
因为她病得很重。
And I know these shoes would make her smile
我知道这鞋会使她微笑。
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight
如果今晚妈妈要到上帝那儿去,我想让她看上去很漂亮。
