Way back in the corner, where no one could see
A little wrapped present, forgotten under the tree
The ribbons were dusty, the paper was torn
On that quiet Christmas morn
(Doo-wop doo-wop, doo-wop)
The last gift under the tree
(Sha-la-la-la)
Was meant to be
(The one, the one)
The one that made Christmas complete
Oh what a sweet surprise
Brought tears to Mama's eyes
That last gift under the tree
Inside was a locket, from many years past
With pictures of Grandma, memories meant to last
Sometimes the best gifts aren't shiny and new
But precious memories true
(Doo-wop doo-wop, doo-wop)
The last gift under the tree
(Sha-la-la-la)
Was meant to be
(The one, the one)
The one that made Christmas complete
Oh what a sweet surprise
Brought tears to Mama's eyes
That last gift under the tree
As shadows grew longer on that Christmas Eve
The gift held a story that made us believe
In magical moments that time cannot steal
And love that's pure and real
(Doo-wop doo-wop, doo-wop)
The last gift under the tree
(Sha-la-la-la)
Was meant to be
(The one, the one)
The one that made Christmas complete
Oh what a sweet surprise
Brought tears to Mama's eyes
That last gift under the tree
Sometimes love comes in packages small
The best presents aren't biggest at all
