She Said Yes

He never had given much thought to dancing

But she gave a lot of thought to being asked

Well he'd never been good, coming right on out and asking

And she'd never been given the chance

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 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 to his whole hearted request

And they held on for dear life 'til the last stars fade

No 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
