She turned and looked in my eyes
How can you criticize?

Softly beside me, she is thinking.
We ride along as though flying through the air.
The world is still, we're sinking
Lost in thoughts, I look over, she's still there.

A careless word drifts on thought
She knew it more than I said it.
My mind threw it, it was caught
Her softness, her confidence hit.

She turned and looked in my eyes
How can you criticize?

There was a long day ahead,
Much to do.
She was looking, and looking said,
It's always up to you.

Her hand in mine, lips on lips
Memories of so many years
All hanging on mutual scripts
Floating on a sea of fears.

She turned and looked in my eyes
How can you criticize?
