The Christmas Shoes by Alabama plus lyrics

[allisonandbailee]

See... My mom ... She went mentally crazed when I was in the 5th grade.. She never really talked to me or my brother, she never really came out of her room before she went like that. And now shes trying, or pretending to try to make everything right. But it wont be, she says she loves us, but you can just look at her face and tell she doesn't, but yet she wants us to spend time with her... I don't know what to do... My friends think I'm okay, but inside I just want to cry. <3 Help IDK what to do

[RebaFan4Forever]

Its Newsong not Alabama

[magicmagininja]

saddest song evar!

[dancingqueen6677]

Its so sad

[shainajayy]

i LOV IT



[shainajayy]

I LOV IT



[bladeexx1]

this song... it means the world to me, for the boys sake, i hope he got money, because i will happily donate my, time, life, and soul to him to help him out.

[alanf2249]

I looked at the related videos, and I saw that the Chipmunks made a cover of this song. The CHIPMUNKS? That is so disrespectful. This is a serious song, that should be ruined by chipmunk babbling.

[TheGamersDailyPost]

Umm... why is everybody crying? I didnt cry.



[XxAllannissxX]

@TheGamersDailyPost its all a matter of what the song means to you.. i mean for me i don't cry because a human of my house won't be spending christmas with me, but instead my dog.. but i can't imagine losing my mom. and im at the age where ppl usually hate their parents.

[justme38ds]

the song is by Newsong

[zachbear98765]

@justme38ds lol, pretty sure Alabama came out with it first..

[josh71111]

what alabama album is this on?

[imnotamandadavis]

watch the movie its sad but its an awesome movie i cried wen i watched the movie

[keshafan55]

Is this true it's so sad ;( ;(

[Lissaann29078]

I cry too sometimes when I listen to it. I think about my mother who past away .

[kamie7891]

every time i hear this i want to cry

[DanceForLifeGloria]

no matter how hard i try i always cry so hard listening to this song!! by the end of the song i'm always balling my eyes out!!;(but i still love this song soo much!!<3!! 121 people can not say if they were that man in the other line and a little boy came up to you and said "i don't have enough money to buy my mom this shoes, so she can look good for Jesus tonight" that they wouldn't cry and pay for the rest of the money for the shoes!!<3

[pepsiluver1997]

I love this song it always makes me crying

[WehrmachtLuftwaffe]

This song sucks.

[ifreakawesome]

@WehrmachtLuftwaffe no the song hate you >:D

[AlleyKittehRawr]

i hate this song in a goos way :(

[Sectornineballs]

@TERRIBLEPRODUCTIONS do u like have a heart or soul?

[ThePandalover741]

Love this song i feel like crying.

[sgtxspank]

This was my mum's favorite Christmas song. I remember crying together with her when we heard it...

R.I.P. Mommy. 12/14/2011

[mjandthgirl]

Merry Christmas! ♥

[theanimehell]

this song is so sad it make me cry!!!

[waterbladeslash]

I always listen to this song on or around christmas (On christmas this time), I've never seen the movie or it's sequel, I want to though.

[ANIMEGIRLVICKY]

T^T

[haylz143]

Rest easy up in heaven today grampie i miss you and love you so much....Merry christmas to my guardian angel<3

[Missscarlett94]

every year i look foward to hearing this song & watching the movie.. but i didnt get to see the movie this year:( it reminds me of my gma who died this summer.. rip nana<3 iloveyou!

[regilord]

@TERRIBLEPRODUCTIONS Obviously you don't like country and don't understand the point of it... plus he's poor and his mom is dying. He wants to do something to cheer her up. The song was made to show Christmas is about giving not receiving...

[kevincc13]

The newer generation rarely talks and feels like this anymore.....

[royalcomet2018]

I just <3 this song. It reminds me of my BFF ho died & I just miss her so much!!! RIP I will never forget u Anna McKinney!!! She wuz oly 5 but she <3'ed this song....

[Rogue77X5]

I cryed after the song causemy dad just died andmy mom

[evilheart0716]

i love this song. i cant listen to song and not get chills

[princesslolo1995]

I love Alabama!! <3 They are amazing :)

[TERRIBLEPRODUCTIONSS]

This is quite possibly the worst thing I have ever heard. Not only is it over the top, but it's cheesy, heartless, and needlessly dull. I get it, a kid cares for his mom. I don't need a shitty song to tell me that.

[GreenEyedDreamerxo]

@TERRIBLEPRODUCTIONSS I believe the point of this song is more to get people into the mindset of giving during the holiday season instead of focusing entirely on their own wants and desires rather than to bring you down. Merry Christmas!

[Laraine0318]

@MeepMeep022 you have a great point there is no reason to dislike this there are people out there today with there moms taking there last breath and I feel so bad for them because I don't know what I would do with out my mom.

[sammymb101]

@Laraine0318 it sucks alot with out ur mom my mom died the day after christmas and this was her fav song

[Diehardskater055]

@Laraine0318 thanks i completely agree

[Diehardskater055]

@Laraine0318 oh sorry and this is my other account.. :-(

[MeepMeep022]

really, you guys should have more respect if u disliked this. im not trying to be a prick but how would you feel if your mom died on christmas, would you be sad? i bet you would. this song should do at least teach you a lesson. merry christmas for all going through these times and all just relaxing at home. hope you all do good.

[makeupismylifey]

i cry as soon as the little boy starts talking

[makeupismylifey]

i cry as soon as the little boy starts talking

[VickiLeeMurray]

I can never listen to this song without breaking down

[iheaartyouux]

)':

[b3ak3rs]

Just heard this song for the first time and I just broke down in tears. It just made me remember how much my mom loved her kids and if she was here today she would love this song.

[dutcheroonie789]

My mom just died a few months ago in a car accident and i know she loved this song. i finally remembered the name and quickly typed it n the search bar. I frantically clicked the box and here i am, crying like a baby, because i can't be with my mom this christmas. I love you and miss you mommy and i will never ever forget you <3

[crzy4logan]

@dutcheroonie789 oh i'm sorry :'( thats terrible! Lets hope she is in heaven! I bet she is! :)

[tweetyJ17]

@dutcheroonie789 dude i havent even listened to the song yet just your post made me cry! let her rest in peace

[CHRISTIANMUZZIC]

@dutcheroonie789 I am praying for your family

[Pitterpotter2]

@dutcheroonie789 My mum died a few years ago in the same situation. I miss her so much too.

[werwr4]

i cried, i cried like a bitch!!

[livenforhim14]

@mradvancedatheist It has nothing to do with Christianity. It is about a man that does a great act of kindness for a little boy who is about to lose his mother to a deadly disease. I don't care if you are Christian or atheist, have a heart. God bless you this holiday season. I hope you have a Merry Christmas

[tuckeradamcountry]

so sad



[swimmersbody1]

i hate this song... in a good way tho.... it just makes me cry.. it reminds me of my grandma when she died on christmas when my mom was 15...... so every christmas, we go to her grave a i always put a picture of shoes, that i know she wouldve loved.. i started doing the shoes when i heard this song.... i love you gamma rest in peace

[SuperTrini93]

@swimmersbody1 thats so sweet but sad. rest in peace grandma!! <3

[SilverAssassin1347]

whoever disliked this song was crying too much to see whivh button they pushed

[hpbetterthantwilight]

I can't even make it through the "sir I wanna buy these shoes" Christmas song, and I'm crying! And I KNOW it's a cheesy song, Bug, I Know!! But the Momma's gonna DIE in it! and she's gonna meet jesus, and she's gonna have some NEW GODDAMN SHOOOOES!! *sobs* --Starship <3

[countryredneckgal3]

I love this song even though it does make me cry. It makes me think what Christmas is about. Giving and helping someone. This Christmas will be the first Christmas without my mother in law. We'll miss you Mama love you. Also my Mother its the second Christmas without her. Miss you Mother and love you. Merry Christmas !

[LaReginadiHeffland]

this song always makes me cry, and considering my own mother had cancer it rings close to home

[wolftamer77890]

This song makes me cry every time

[mybestfriendiscooley]

I <3 This Song

[ElizabethBells]

This year...things won't be right for us at Christmas at home. I'm not going to get in detail but lately, I've been dreading Christmas. I cry alot. I'm sad alot. And its funny really...this song makes many cry but it made me smile. I need to remember Christmas is a time to be thankful, not sad. So thanksfor the reminder. God Bless, Merrry Christmas.

[largowinter]

@ElizabethBells I hope everything gets better for you. Believe in Christmas Miracles. :)

[ElizabethBells]

@largowinter Thank you! Merry Christmas!

[BreanaStanskiVEVO]

This song is so beautiful, it made me cry, send it to everyone I know, then cry even more.

[briluvbug2]

i heard this song a couple of Christmas' ago and i started crying i love it so much and have spent years trying to figure out what it was called ! i found it <3

[musicfan4life14]

this song really touched my heart

[midnightbird202]

i meant song



[midnightbird202]

this guy named matt snag this ong at school and he was AMAZING

[midnightbird202]

@midnightbird202 sang***

[higga7]

ive always like this song but this year it hit me realy hard my own mom had to have some pretty magjor surgery and originaly she would have been in the hospital chrismas so i can almost imagine it me being that lil boy im glad she made it through and shes spending christmas here at home

[rockjock0987]

111 haters are spoiled rotten

[amysalazar1]

@rockjock0987 112 now

[raygann728]

This is such a sweet, yet sad song. Its very beautiful song. If people would just stop arguing on here and actually listen to the lyrics and the meaning. -Keep CHRIST in CHRISTmas. (: -God bless.

[michelleomgx33]

Those of you who think this song is "horrible" are heartless. This song sends out a good message and that's all that matters. While you wait to get your ipods, they're people who can't even afford a simple pair of good shoes. You should be ashamed of yourself.

[raygann728]

@michelleomgx33 soo true, you stated your point, and yet its a VERY stable point, good going stand up and say it! people just listen to the meaning, people can't even buy a pair of shoes, she's right! As we go along buying all this expensive stuff, just think and be thank ful that you CAN afford that stuff. Good way to state it! (:

[ZacM1993]

* i screwed up on that 3rd line

it was ment to say

but the one thing that makes me think about what Xmas is truely about is this song

[ZacM1993]

For most of my life (after 8 or so) I could never get in the Christmas mood

I never know why and still dont

but the one thing that makes me think about what Xmas this song

the 1st time i heard it was a few years ago on my way to skool with my mom

I was running late and was geting there later then i should and right be for i got out i heard this song and just couldnt walk away from it

This is the one song that tells the true meaning and gives us all a true reason to care

Let the light grow :,)

[GeorgiaMud91890]

I miss you Nanny.

[noszy1223]

Makes me Cry... :(

[etorgs13]

i dont have any grandparents..they all died. and my neighbor was 83 and he was like the grandfather i never had. 2 years ago he died on dec. 23 from bone cancer. this song reminds me so much of mr. bob (my neighbor). i love you mr. bob...merry christmas!!

[fireomgletsrunin]

I'm crying so much

[EricAsh890]

Im crying

[U2Bjunky]

I've been looking for this version for forever!! I'm not trying to dis NewSong or the dixie chicks' versions but NOTHING beats the original!!!

[dvstover]

The song lyrics are off...it should be " NOT really in the Christmas mood."

[ncm6672]

WTF....why's he gotta be "dirty from head to toe"? They're so poor that they can't afford to not neglect him? Or Wash him in the sink at Momma's hospice maybe? This is some pandering elitist s*****.

[Bfftavg]

I cry when I hear this song :_(

[U2Bjunky]

@Bfftavg me too... EVERYTIME when I hear the children's voices in the chorus I absolutely fall apart!

[mrcookienmscupcake]

love this song its beautiful really sad but beautiful cant help but cry everytime i hear it

[JustinDrewBieber9876]

If anyone who is saying this is a terrible song if you've seen the movie you will understand the meaning its such a sad song

[XxGreenapplezXx]

Stop saying this song is bad! This song is sad. Come on, you guys saying "This song is TERRIBLE" This is a touching song. :( Besides, I bet some of you out there miss you're moms!!!!!!

[ScrippsCypres]

This song truly is worse than "Do They Know It's Christmas?". Terrible songwriting, hackneyed lyrics, nothing more than a pathetic attempt to be 'holier-than-thou' on the part of Alabama. If someone really does something nice like this (and it would be a very nice thing to do for someone - there's no possible way to dispute that), there's no need to shout about it. Just do it quietly and enjoy the feeling of doing something nice for someone at any time of year.

[MrPracticeRoom]

XD this song is so bad it's not even funny

[XxGreenapplezXx]

@MrPracticeRoom This isnt a bad song. It shows the true meaning of Christmas.

[TaylorIreland]

My choir teacher sang this song last night at our concert I'm an 18 year old male and I was almost crying

[shmauty]

I only hear this song about once a year on the radio....they should play it more(:

[kurttanner123]

i cry every time i see this song.

[BeckyBoo8ROBLOX]

I absolutely love this song. It shows the true meaning of Christmas. I would never dislike this. I only would because it's sooooo sad. But I liked it. Because I love it. I can't sit through the movie without crying.

[BlazingAuroralSunPro]

I have never cried so much. Every time I hear this song I just break down.

Beautiful song.

[Jaxon2211]

It's never inappropriate to play Christmas Shoes...

[johnchandara]

i have earworm now -.-

[MzFeArLeSsBaBe101]

Who ever Disliked this song is just a hater and doesnt care about there own mom, because this song gets to me evey time i listen to it and it dreads me apart to know that the little boy only cares about his mama, not about all the presents he gets just about his mom and how she is sick, this is the most beatiful thing to here, and it did make me cry, yes i love my mom with all my heart and she will always be there for me<3 i love you mom<3

[Xemnort2x]

@MzFeArLeSsBaBe101 or they have a diffrent opinon about this song

[loverofvalentinesday]

oh and all the people who disliked it are mean and dreadful

[loverofvalentinesday]

my grammom died this year and all i can think about when this song comes on is that my little bro isnt gonna remember her and me and mom cry all the time we listen to this song. it also reminds me of how lucky i am i have clean clothes and money and to feel empathy on homeless people. its ashame.

[spartena2]

14 years ago today my grandmother died. I don't even remember her, I was only 1. This song just makes me think of her. I just wish I had memories of her.

[loverofvalentinesday]

@spartena2 it is sad my bro wont remember her either

[MegaSavvy10]

@superkickass wtfreak?! this is the most beautiful christmas song ever i bet every person who reads that comment hates you...when you experience it then come talk to me -_-

[xxliv2laughxx]

My dad cries every time he hears this song... and the sick fuck I am, I sent the link to him saying it was a funny video

[PurpleZimat3am]

Okay. If My Momma Was Dying.

I Would Do Everything In My Power To Make Her Last Moments The Best.

I Don't Know About Those People With The Ignorant Comments, But That Is What The Little Boy Is Doing, Gosh, Watch The Movie?

Quit Being Heartless Scrouges.

Don't Be Upset That He Has The Heart That You Only Wish You Could Have.

I Know I'm Gonna get Hateful Comments For This, but Frankly, I Don't Really Care.

The Truth Hurts Sometimes.

[commodore64fan]

i always cry at this song because i lost my mother 3 years ago 2 weeks before christmas but she will always be in my heart i love you mom :')

[fortissabrok]

A couple questions:

Why didn't the clerk just give the boy the shoes?

Where is the dad? There's just a kid running around town trying to buy stuff for this mother. If there isn't a dad, wouldn't the mother just want him to be there with her?

Would anyone play this song when the whole family is together having fun on Christmas Eve/Day? It's a major downer song. Christmas Songs are mean't to make everyone happy and joyful that's the meaning of christmas.

[XxGreenapplezXx]

@fortissabrok I agree with the first 2. But the third one... I don't think anyone would play this song on Christmas. :) Btw Merry Christmas

[yesterdaywhenikickyu]

who would dislike this :(

[michelle37347]

I LOVE THIS SONG

[mcfig13]

omg i promised i wouldnt cry :/

[MrJustus152]

ive istened to this song so many times sang it to my self and somehow i always manage to cry <3

[Jakemorgan69]

I'm a guy and I'm 17 years old.. And this even makes me cry everytime i listen to it

[TheMusicJunkie23]

I listen, and I laugh

[horsebackridingrocks]

This song is so sad! I know what it feels like! :'( I had a babysitter whos like a second mom to me and she has cancer and she goes to the hospital a lot! Shes dying!! She's

So nice!!!!!! I will miss her a lot when she goes off to heaven! Shes been getting weaker and weaker! I love her and this song made me go into tears!

[blake9883]

I meant to put a heart not "-3" ...

[blake9883]

I don't get how some people don't like this song. I haven't experienced this but I know people who have, this song isn't stupid. it has a GREAT meaning to it. whoever doesnt get the message from this song needs to be prayed for. (: -3

[SgtShock39]

</3 so sadd

[hotwheels882]

typical superficial america... kid wants to buy shoes for his mom that's about to die? maybe that money should go to the funeral that they surely can't afford. the song author get's "what christmas is all about"- helping others in a time of need. now someone should teach the kid that (his mom doesn't need a pair of shoes). i blame the parents.

[nyhippy256]

@hotwheels882 ....thats not the point of the song. stop being so pompous. The point of the song is that the little boy wants his mom to be happy, no matter what it takes, even though the kid is poor, he knows that the shoes will *make her smile* and thinks they will look beautiful on her. jeez. don't ruin such a touching song.

[LuvinThoseTunez]

@hotwheels882 He is in a time of need. He is trying to be optimistic about his situation, which, in quite plainly, sucks! He wants to have something that he can help his mom with. A mother who had any bit of emotion would love a gift from her son, no matter how pointless it is.

PS: Oh, and by the way, if he didn't have enough for a pair of shoes, that much could not have made a difference in the funeral fundings.

[n64central]

@hotwheels882 shut up troll you are a heartless prick

[Latiran]

@hotwheels882 Pfftt go away just go away :/

[commodore64fan]

@hotwheels882 i blame your parents for raising a piece of shit like you

[babygirl1122244]

sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo sad ;(

[harvestaw71]

That's not Alabama, but NewSong.

[tashalexxie]

gayest song ever

[PurpleZimat3am]

@tashalexxie You Have No Heart.

[xtinaluver1]

i love this song so much<3 it has such a deep meaning to it :')

[2000randomgirl]

@superkickass I bet your momma died and your getting emotional tonight I know it hurts but don't curse its almost Christmas

Everyone god bless us all

[SAVANNAH1352]

this is such a sad song

[The16countrygirl161]

i'll b praying for the 99 ppl who disliked this song! Merry Christmas every one!

[FluffySweetsandCake]

99 people got crappy christmas gifts

[firefighter4lyfe5152]

This song is so beautiful I cry every time I hear it. I know what's it like to have people died. I lost my aunt in 08 my grandmother this October. Now I am going to lose my uncle and my best friend in the next year to cancer. This song remind me that they are in heaven looking down at me smiling. I was told by my best friend when someone you love died think of it as another angle looking down on you making sure your okay. I am going to see a lot of death in my job as a paramedic but death is al

[breeezy190]

I love this song periodly. I almost cried and I'm a Guy. 16 year old Guy. This is so sad. I almost lost my dad last year and I was glad that I didn't. This so means soo much! :)

[3920Gohan]

[montoyag76]

Damn good song !! I'm 6'3" 272 lbs and I train wrestlers .... This had me balling like a newborn baby .

[giraffelynn]

omg I love this song my grandma died when I was in 4th grade on Christmas morning. she had 3 kidney stones and she got them taken out and she got really sick. she had one of those button things, she pushed it the police came and so did the ambulance the door was locked so they had to bust it down... when they got in the house it was too late. they said if they were there 5 min earlier she probably would have survived. I miss her so much.
