The Christmas Shoes

    是不是因为悲剧通常比喜剧更感人,还是因为自己年纪越大越脆弱了,还是因为其它的?今天早上在上班的路上听到一首老歌“The Christmas Shoes”,听完之后鼻子酸酸的,眼睛有点湿湿的。

    歌名:The Christmas Shoes

    艺人:NewSong

    歌词:

    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
