He never had given much thought to dancing
But she gave a lot of thought to being asked
Well hed never been good, coming right on out and asking
And shed never been given the chanceSomething moved him cross that old gym floor
When fear was holding fast
And to his surprise the words came at lastAnd she said yes to his half hearted request
And they held on for dear life til the last song played
They wont let go its beyond their control
They lit a flame with the match God had made when she said yesFrom that night on the fire was burning
And they sure did shine in its light
And he knew as long as the old world kept turning
He wanted her by his sideSo with a ring and a nervous smile
And some lines that hed rehearsed
He said the sweetest words that shed ever heardAnd she said yes to his whole hearted request
And they held on for dear life til the last stars fade
No they wont let go its 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
