He never had given much thought to dancing But she gave a lot of thought to being asked Well hed never been good, coming right on out and asking And shed never been given the chance
Something moved him cross that old gym floor When 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 played They wont let go its 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 its light And he knew as long as the old world kept turning He wanted her by his side
So with a ring and a nervous smile And some lines that hed rehearsed He said the sweetest words that shed ever heard
And she said yes to his whole hearted request And they held on for dear life til the last stars fade No they wont 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
