She Said Yes

He'd never had given much thought to dancin' But she gave a lot of thought to bein' asked Well he'd never been good At comin' right on out and askin' And she'd never been given a chance But somethin' moved across that old gym floor When fear was hold'n fast And to his surprise the words came at last Chorus: 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 From that night on the fire was burnin' And it sure did shine in his light And he knew as long As this old world kept turnin' He wanted her by his side So with a ring and a nervous smile And lines that he rehearsed He said the sweetest words That she'd ever heard Chorus: 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 They lit a flame with the match God had made When she said yes
