I cried when I heard this.

My name is Christmas Carol: Skip Twing

I was playin Santa Claus
Downtown on Christmas Eve
When a Little Girl of three or four
Climbed up onto my knee

I could tell she had a Christmas wish
behind those eyes of blue
so I asked her "What's your name?
What can Santa get for you?"

*chorus*

She Said "My name is Christmas Carol,
I was born on Christmas Day,
I don't know who my daddy is
My mommy's gone away.

All I want for christmas is
someone to take me home
does anybody want
a Christmas Carol of their own?"

Well, all that I could say was
Santa'd do the best he could
and I set her down and told her
"Now remember to be good"

She said "I will" then walked away
turned and waved goodbye
and I'm glad she wasn't close enough
to see old Santa cry.

*chorus*

She Said "My name is Christmas Carol,
I was born on Christmas Day,
I don't know who my daddy is
My mommy's gone away.

All I want for christmas is
someone to take me home
does anybody want
a Christmas Carol of their own?"

Early Christmas Morning
I got up and dialed the phone
I made a few arrangements
with the county children's home

They told me it would be all right
to pick her up today
now my little Christmas Carol
won't ever have to say

*final Chorus*

"My name is Christmas Carol,
I was born on Christmas Day,
I don't know who my daddy is
My mommy's gone away

All I want for christmas is
someone to take me home
does anybody want
a Christmas Carol of their own?"

Well, Merry Christmas Carol
I love you
Welcome home.

Here's another. This was probably by an angel.

The Christmas Shoes:Bob Carlise

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. crying crying


Sung by Bob Carlisle, the song "The Christmas Shoes" is a touching song making us realize the true essence of Christianity. Christmas is a time not only for joy and celebrations, but also the time for sacrificing our needs to make others happy. Here is Christmas Carnivals providing you with the Christmas Shoes Lyrics. The beautiful yet heart wrenching lyrics make us feel the pain and the anxiety of the young boy out to buy the last gift for his mother.

The Christmas Shoes is a universal story of the deeper meaning of destiny, of sharing humanity and carries an important message, that sometimes the smallest things in life can make all the difference so don't wait for big, materialistic opportunities in life. Open your eyes and you will believe in miracles!
