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
And 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 till the last song played
And they won't let go it's beyond their control
They lit a flame with the match God had made when she said yes
[ piano ]
From 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 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...
[ guitar ]
They lit a flame with the match God had made when she said yes
