she said yes

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 last

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

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

they lit a flame with the match god had made

when she said yes
