How Could Anyone (Libby Roderick) + extra verses, performed by Andrea Kitt and David Bailey

Contact: andrea_kitt@hotmail.com How Could Anyone (Libby Roderick) Sorry - I credited the wrong person in the video. I know now that the song (that is, the first and last verse) was originally written by Libby Roderick. Six extra verses composed by Andrea. Performed by Andrea Kitt and David Bailey. How could anyone ever tell you You were anything less than beautiful How could anyone ever tell you You were less than whole How could anyone fail to notice That your loving is a miracle How deeply you're connected to my soul How could anyone fail to hear you When you're reaching for their loving And the louder you are calling The more they turn away How could anyone ignore you When you're shouting and you're screaming How could anyone believe You'd grow less needy in this way How could anyone speak harshly And make those sweet lips tremble How could anyone draw veils Across the sunshine of your eyes How could anyone be angry How could they fail to see the damage As you struggle far too early To adopt your first disguise How could anyone break your heart When its so new in the making How could anyone fail to notice When the wounds begin to show How could anyone then deny It was them that did the breaking Them that dammed the waters When they first began to flow How could anyone fail to feed you And help you to grow stronger How could anyone ever hurt you When you're tender and you're new How could anyone look past you As though you were a stranger How could anyone fail to love you Through and through Oh for God's sake do not hurt him Can't you see where this is leading? I have seen the wounded fighting With their wasting and their scars I have watched them blind and bleeding In their strangely swollen bodies As they lunge at one another In the city streets and bars I have seen the wild confusion In the panic of the giver As the giving of a lifetime Cannot feed the child within I have seen the desperation In the vengeance of the soldier Who has made a vow to punish Those who cruelly punished him How could anyone ever tell you You were anything less than beautiful How could anyone ever tell you You were less than whole How could anyone fail to notice That your loving is a miracle How deeply you're connected to my soul
