He never had given much thought to dancin'

But she gave a lot of thought to bein' asked

Well he'd never been good

At comin' right on out and askin'

And she'd never been given the chance



But somethin' moved accross that ol' gym floor

When fear was holdin' fast

And to his surprise

The words came at last



And she said yes

To his half-hearted request

And they held on for dear life

'Til the last song played

They won't let go

It's beyond their control

They lit a flame with a match God had made

When she said yes



From that night on the fire was burnin'

And they sure did shine in it's light

And he knew as long

As this ol' world kept turnin'

He wanted her by his side



So with a ring and a nervous smile

And some lines that he'd rehearsed

He said the sweetest words

That she'd ever heard



And she said yes

To his whole-hearted request

And they'll hold on for dear life

'Til the last stars fade

No, they won't let go

It's beyond their control

They lit a flame with a match God had made

When she said yes



They lit a flame with a match God had made

When she said yes
