One More Gift to Open
Words and music by Ray Allen Kayanek
(Verse) 
	Christmas always has been			
        Mama's favorite time of year
	Singing Christmas carols		
        barely loud enough to hear
	carefully placing each ornament		
        right where it should be
	as the whole family 				
        gathers round the Christmas tree

	(Chorus) 
		There's one more gift to open I don't know what's inside
		My momma bought it for me just before she died.
		As I hold it in my hands Momma's memory is so strong.	
		I'm afraid that if I open it this feeling will be gone

(Verse)
	Momma loved Christmas			
        Momma loved her Lord
	now she's in His presence			
        gone for her reward
	she taught me right from wrong		
        about faith and family
	now I'd give anything		
        to have Momma back with me

	(Repeat Chorus)

(Bridge) 
	I'm not ready for Christmas to be over	I'm not ready for momma to be gone.
	I thought as long as I didn't open this last present. in my heart they'd both live on
	
                there's one more gift to open
                now the time is right
                Momma would've wanted me
                to find out what's inside

		As I untie the ribbon as the paper tears
		Inside I find a Bible and a note that says
        	Live the way I taught you son and I'll see you in Heaven
                (whisper) Merry Christmas Momma
