Carl Smith – (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
