Okay, here's another one. It's to the tune of the song "Christmas Shoes."
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 young boy waiting anxiously
Pacing 'round givin' the clock a look
And in his hands he held a weathered book
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 this book for my best friend, please
It's Christmas Eve and I know he's gonna die
Could you hurry, sir, Dally says there's not much time
You see, he's been hurt for quite a while
I know this book would make him smile
I want him to be happy when Johnny 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 Johnny had a hard time at his house
And most years he just did without
Tell me Sir, what am I going to do,
I've got to give him a Christmas long overdue
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
Johnny's gonna feel so great
Sir, I want to buy this book for my best friend, please
It's Christmas Eve and I know he's gonna die
Could you hurry, sir, Dally says there's not much time
You see, he's been hurt for quite a while
I know this book would make him smile
I want him to be happy when Johnny 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 young boy
To remind me just what Christmas is all about
Sir, I want to buy this book for my best friend, please
It's Christmas Eve and I know he's gonna die
Could you hurry, sir, Dally says there's not much time
You see, he's been hurt for quite a while
I know this book would make him smile
I want him to be happy when Johnny meets Jesus tonight
I want him to be happy when Johnny meets Jesus tonight
I forgot to say, in case you didn't know, the book he's buying him is Gone With the Wind.
