He'd 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 a chance
but somethin' moved across that old gym floor
when fear was hold'n fast
and to his surprise the words came at lastChorus:
And she said yes to his half-hearted request
and they held on for dear life till the last song played
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 burnin'
and it sure did shine in his light
and he knew as long
as this old world kept turnin'
He wanted her by his side
so with a ring and a nervous smile
and lines that he rehearsed
he said the sweetest words
that she'd ever heard
Chorus:
And she said yes to his half-hearted request
and they held on for dear life till the last song played
they won't let go, it's beyond their control
they lit a flame with the match God had made
when she said yesthey lit a flame with the match God had made
when she said yes
