Joanne Lurgio

I am a singer/songwriter. At present, my band consists of me and my guitar.

I am a singer/songwriter. I have been singing and playing the guitar as long as I can remember. I write about love, life and anything else thats sent my way. If even for a moment, I can make you laugh, cry, reflect, remember or just forget the troubles of your day, then I have succeeded as a songwriter.

Story behind the song

Cindy Miller wrote the words. I was more than flattered when she asked me to put her words to music.

Lyrics

The Art of Make Believe
© 2003 Cindy Miller/Joanne Lurgio

V1
Those silhouettes of pirouettes are finger puppets on the wall
An old rag doll her audience, but still she gives her all
Smiling through the bitter truth, she knows she’s not Giselle
But for today, she danced ballet; it only for herself

Bless the child so tired and weak
Her dreams shall set her free
From her chair, she danced on air
Through the art of make believe

V2
Though he’s never seen a garden, his canvas is in bloom
Brush strokes formed by instinct, not memories of a view
His paintings won’t adorn the Louvre, or sell at Southerbys
But for today, he is Monet, in his own fantasy

Bless the artist who cannot see
His dreams shall set him free
From the dark, he paints the stars
Through the art of make believe

V3
Her silence keeps her company, in a world where sound belongs
‘Til suddenly, a memory; she’s moved to write a song
Her rhymes are less than perfect; her melody too slow
But for today, she hears it play; in her mind’s radio

Bless the poet who won’t concede
Her dreams shall set her free
From her words, emotion stirs
Through the art of make believe
The art of make believe

Bless the dreams that set us free
Through the art of make believe
