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 across that old gym floor
When fear was holding fast
And to his surprise, the words came at last
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 to his half-hearted request
When she said yes to his half-hearted request
From that night on the fire was burned
And the shore did shine in its light
And it lit a fire in its light
For 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 wholehearted request
And he'll hold on for dear life till the last star's 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
