Beautiful Christmas story
A man was fumblin’ around one day in a women’s clothing store He’d found his wife a Christmas coat And was headed for the door When he bumped into a little boy That looked like he was lost And he said “Mister can you help me Find out how much something costs? Here it is almost Christmas And the nights are gettin cold Winter time is on us And my mom don’t have a coat I’ve been workin for the neighbours And saving for a time” And in his tiny outstretched hand Was a dollar and a dime
His gaze went from that big eyed boy To that pretty Christmas coat And he finally cleared away the lump That had gathered in his throat He said “Son that’s just what this coat costs We’re lucky that we found ‘er” And he turned around and gave a wink To the lady at the counter She put it in a pretty box And wrapped it up just so And went off in the back And found a big red Christmas bow He said “ I thank you for your help sir And I kindly thank you ma’am I hope y’all are gonna have a big Christmas Cause now I know I am”
Well the man walked home busted Except for the dollar and the dime Thinkin he’d just have to buy The coat another time He told his wife that Christmas this year Wouldn’t be much fun And he gently took her in his arms And told her what he’d done She said “ why you old softie I wouldn’t trade you for a farm I’ve got two or three old coats And your love to keep me warm” She put that money in a matchbox And placed it beneath their tree And said “that is the grandest gift You’ve ever given me”
