He never had given much thought to dancing
But she gave a lot 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
Well something moved across that old gym floor
Where fear was holding fast
And to his surprise the words came at last

And she said yes
To his halfhearted request
And they held on for dear life until 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 burning
And (?) shined in its 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
The lines that he rehearsed
He said the sweetest words that she'd ever heard

And she said yes
To his wholehearted request
And they'll hold on for dear life until the last stars fade
They won't let go
It's 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
