I'm Confessin'
Charlie Christian and Benny Goodman Lyrics

Charlie Christian's song "I'm Confessin'" is a romantic piece that delves into the singer's feelings of love and vulnerability towards a significant other. The song begins with the singer confessing their love to their partner and wondering if their feelings are requited. The next lines of the song declare the singer's need for their significant other and how they depend on them every moment.

In the third line, the singer reveals that they can see some strange things in their partner's eyes but their lips deny they are true. This can be interpreted in different ways. It could mean that the singer can see love in her eyes for him, but she denies it with her words. Or it can mean the opposite, where he is seeing things that are not there. The chorus is then repeated where the singer confesses his love again and wonders if his significant other feels the same way.

The second verse shows the singer's fears of being left behind and not taken seriously. The singer seems to be asking if they can still be friends if their significant other ever leaves, but they fear the answer may be "no." In the last line, the singer wonders if they are just dreaming of love in vain, and then the chorus repeats where they confess their love yet again.

Overall, "I'm Confessin'" is a beautiful song about confessing feelings of love but also about the fear of rejection and being left behind. The lines, "All in life on you depends," and "Am I guessing that you love me, dreaming dreams of you in vain," especially emphasize this theme.
