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 SOMETHIN'
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
HALFHEARTED REQUEST
AND THEY HELD ON
FOR DEAR LIFE
TILL THE LAST SONG
PLAYED
NOW 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 BURNIN'
AND THEY
SURE DID SHINE
IN ITS 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
WHOLEHEARTED
REQUEST
AND THEY'LL HOLD ON
FOR DEAR LIFE
TILL 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
AND LIT A FLAME
WITH THE MATCH
GOD HAD MADE
WHEN SHE SAID YES
