Lyrics |
He never had given much thought to dancin’ But she gave a lot of thought to being asked Well, he’d never been good at comin’ right on out and askin’ And she’d never been given the chance
But something moved him ‘cross that old 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 the match God had made When she said yes
From that night on the fire was burning And they sure did shine it it’s 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 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
