He 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 the chance
But somethin' moved accross that ol' gym floor
When fear was holdin' 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 won't let go
It's beyond their control
They lit a flame with a match God had made
When she said yes
From that night on the fire was burnin'
And they sure did shine in it's light
And he knew as long
As this ol' world kept turnin'
He wanted her by his side
So with a ring and a nervous smile
And some lines that he'd 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
No, they won't let go
It's beyond their control
They lit a flame with a match God had made
When she said yes
They lit a flame with a match God had made
When she said yes
