You Said Yes

Kevin Ray

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
