Don't You Remember
Lauren Spencer-Smith Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When you see that moon above don't just stand there
You gotta laugh and dance and sing you gotta get that gal a ring
When you feel like you're in love don't just stand there
When the moon is shinin' bright in your Saturday night
You're not havin' any fun then maybe you're out with the wrong one
When you feel like you're in love hold her tighter
And the moon and stars above all shine brighter
When you feel like you're in love don't just stand there
When you feel like you're in love don't just stand there
When you see that moon above don't just stand there
You gotta laugh and dance and sing you gotta get that gal a ring
When you feel like you're in love don't just stand there
When the moon is shinin' bright in your Saturday night
You're not havin' any fun then maybe you're out with the wrong one
When you feel like you're in love hold her tighter
And the moon and stars above all shine brighter
You gotta laugh and dance and sing you gotta get that gal a ring
When you feel like you're in love don't just stand there
The lyrics to Lauren Spencer-Smith's song Don't You Remember speak of seizing the moment when you feel love in your heart. The first verse advises the listener to not simply stand there when they feel love, but to take action. The imagery of the moon adds to the romantic atmosphere, and encourages the listener to revel in the beauty of the night. The chorus calls for laughter, dancing, singing, and ultimately, a ring. The message is clear: when you feel love, embrace it fully and don't let it slip away.
The second verse builds on the first, repeating the message with slight variations. The moon and stars shining brighter when you hold your loved one tighter emphasizes how love can make everything in the world seem more vivid and intense. The line "you're not havin' any fun then maybe you're out with the wrong one" suggests that sometimes we mistake infatuation or lust for love, and encourages the listener to find the true object of their affections. The final repetition of the chorus drives home the message that when you feel love, it's important to take action.
