The Christmas Shoes

很感人的一首歌　特別是在聖誕節的前夕

雖然我英文不是很好　但還是忍不住照著中英對照

把整個歌詞看完



一直覺得英文歌是很神奇的

簡單的幾個旋律　配上平鋪直敘的歌詞

也是可以很有感覺

尤其當他唱到

"And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight"

更是讓人一整個鼻酸



要時時提醒自己是很幸福的

只有自己才能給自己幸福

也要相信

即使不能給別人100%的幸福

至少也要有48%的幸福喔（不懂？用google大師吧！）

歌名：The Christmas Shoes 演唱者：Newsong



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



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



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
