Question

Wouldn't that make him dead?

Answer 1

It's an old and popular adage to describe a person who wants everyone to know (and see) that he/she is in love.  Comparable to the saying "stars in one's eyes."  It's a tell-tale sign of one who is profoundly in love.

The sleeves of a shirt or blouse is very discernible and when you figuratively put your heart on your sleeve it, too, can be visible to all.

Answer 2

yes thet will die.  

Answer 3

"Honesty.  It's hardly ever heard.  But mostly what I need from you."

says the song.

There should only be four aces.  But he had a fifth up his sleeves.  It was the ace of hearts.

And that's what they wrote on his tombstone.  "Here lies Aref.  Tried to play five aces."

Answer 4

It just means you show your emotions.  Some people hide how they feel.

Answer 5

if by sleeve you mean a tattoo arm piece, then easily.

if by long sleeved shirts, then you draw it on with a sharpie.
