Donny wrote this over a period of years, writing and re-writing this song a total of four times.
It tells the story of his first love in middle school and how he tries to get up the courage to ask her to dance…
[Verse 1]
It was raining and the night was cool
I was a nervous young man walking into a school
For a dance in the gym
As the band was about to begin
I waited to the side a while
I was lost in the music and there with a smile
You walk through the door
As the couples paired up on the floor
And I remember
[Chorus]
You stood there
With that dress on
My heart felt a love so true
Everyone I knew was aware
I was falling
You stood there
With that dress on
My heart sang every love song it knew
The night I fell for you
[Verse 2]
I wasn't sure what I should say
I would feel like a fool if you turned me away
So I stayed on my own
And you sat over there all alone
I thought about it far too long
Then band said this is our very last song
So I took a chance
And I walked up and asked you to dance
And I remember
[Chorus]
[Outro]
You stood there
With that dress on
And my heart sang every love song it knew
The night I fell for you
