Never had given much thought to dancing

But she'd given alot of thought to being asked

Well he'd never been good at coming right on out and asking

She'd never been given the chance

Something moved and crossed that old gym floor

But fear was holding 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 plays

They won't let go

It's beyond their control

They lit a flame with the match God had made

When she said yes



From that night on the fire was burning

And they sure did shine in it's light

And he knew as long as this old world kept turning

He wanted her by his side

So with a ring and a nervous smile and some lines that he 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

They won't let go its beyond their control

They lit a flame with the match God had made

When she said yes



They lit a flame with the match God had made

When she said yes
