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

But 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 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 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'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

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
