She Said Yes

(album: A Thousand Memories - 1995)

He'd 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 a chance
But something moved across that old gym floor
When fear was hold'n 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 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 burning
And it sure did shine in his 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 lines that he rehearsed
He said the sweetest words
That she'd ever heard

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
