Lyrics: Fleming & John. Suppressed Emotions.

Tossing and turning
All her thoughts are burning
She can't go to sleep

You think she is dreaming
Although she is scheming
A secret to keep

Years have flown by
Taking with them time
She never had for her own

Now she plays house
While her husband stays out
On the town

Suppressed emotions
Suppressed emotions

Thoughts turning backwards
She sees a young man
With a gleam in his eye

Both of them laughing
And jumping as if they could
Reach to the sky

With love abounding
Her heartbeat is pounding
A message

Regrets is all that she gets
If she opens her eyes

Suppressed emotions
Trying to hide
Feeling she keeps inside

Suppressed emotions
Eyes may reveal
Feeling she tries to conceal

No need to awaken
Her dreams have all taken her
Where she longs to be

Without a care
But the wave of her hair
No responsibility

Would she have done
Anything differently if she knew
What she knows now?

Lost in delusions of a love
That she never found

Suppressed emotions
Trying to hide
Feeling she keeps inside

Suppressed emotions
Eyes may reveal
Feeling she tries to conceal
