The Skeleton in the Closet
Bing Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My conversation
May not be smart,
But if we're to have a perfect understanding,
Let's call a heart a heart!
There are words that should be whispered gently,
That's evidently
If I tell you what my dreams have been demanding,
Let's call a heart a heart!
Can I prove how I yearn
Just by the turn of a phrase?
Can I keep my control
When all my soul is ablaze?
Maybe you would call a true confession
An indiscretion
On someone's part,
But if I'm to say how madly I adore you,
Let's call a heart a heart!
Maybe you would call a true confession
An indiscretion
On someone's part,
But if I'm to say how madly I adore you,
Let's call a heart a heart!
The lyrics to Bing Crosby's song Pennies From Heaven Medley: Let's Call A Heart A Heart So Do I Skeleton in the Closet express a desire for honest and open communication in a romantic relationship. The lyrics suggest that sometimes it may be difficult to articulate one's true feelings, but it's important to speak from the heart and be honest with a loved one. The lines "Can I prove how I yearn Just by the turn of a phrase?" and "Can I keep my control When all my soul is ablaze?" communicate the struggle to express deep emotions and the fear of vulnerability that can come with it.
The repeated line "Let's call a heart a heart" emphasizes the importance of clarity and honesty in love. The lyrics also suggest that there may be societal constraints on openly expressing feelings, with the line "Maybe you would call a true confession An indiscretion On someone's part." Despite this, the song ultimately encourages the listener to be brave and honest in expressing their love.

When we're in a friendly situation,
When we are in a comfortable environment,
My conversation
May not be smart,
My talking may not always be intelligent,
But if we're to have a perfect understanding,
If we aim to have a complete understanding,
Let's call a heart a heart!
Let's use straightforward language and express our true feelings!
There are words that should be whispered gently,
That's evidently
The way to start,
Some words should be whispered softly as a beginning,
If I tell you what my dreams have been demanding,
If I share what my aspirations have been urging me to say,
Let's call a heart a heart!
Let's state our true feelings without any facade!
Can I prove how I yearn
Just by the turn of a phrase?
Can I express my longing with just words?
Can I keep my control
When all my soul is ablaze?
Can I maintain my composure when my feelings are intense?
Maybe you would call a true confession
An indiscretion
On someone's part,
You might consider an honest admission to be a breach of etiquette,
But if I'm to say how madly I adore you,
But if I want to express how deeply I love you,
Let's call a heart a heart!
Let's be forthright and honest about our feelings!
Maybe you would call a true confession
An indiscretion
On someone's part,
You might consider an honest admission to be a breach of etiquette,
But if I'm to say how madly I adore you,
But if I want to express how deeply I love you,
Let's call a heart a heart!
Let's speak the truth about our feelings and intentions!

this is by far the best version of this song, and believe me i heard many while looking for this one. I just love how the singer is having the time of his life in this song

You're amazing. With this video & today being September 1st, I'm beginning to feel that Halloween magic finally creeping in. I actually took my dog for a walk earlier, and my neighbors had their garage open with just a single plastic jack-o'-lantern up on a rack. I had to smile.

Thanks! Two months of wondrous autumn until the big day!

Aw yes, the greatest time of the year. Haunted houses, pumpkin patches, horror movies, falling leaves. Summer is over rated.
