I never had given much thought to dancing
But you gave a lot of thought to being asked
Well I'd never been good
At coming right on out and asking
And you'd never been given the chance

But something moved me
Cross that old gym floor
When fear was holding fast
And to my surprise
The words came at last

Chorus:
And you said yes
To my half-hearted request
And we held on for dear life
Till the last song played
We won't let go
It's beyond our control
We lit a flame with the match God had made
When you said yes

From that night on the fire was burning
And we sure did shine in it's light
And I knew as long as this old world kept turning
I wanted you by my side
So with a ring and a nervous smile
And some lines that I'd rehearsed
I said the sweetest words
That you'd ever heard
I love you
Will you marry me?

Chorus:
And you said you said
To my whole hearted request
And we'll hold on for dear life
Till the last stars fade
No we won't let go
It's beyond our control
We lit a flame with the match God had made
When you said yes

We lit a flame with the match God had made
I love you so much
When you said...yes
