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
