 This  blog is  mostly devoted to instrumentals  and   improvisations of the  melodies I have written.The improvisations are done by Bernie Katzman, a musical genius and prodigy. Listen and learn about many musical genres, from classical to rag, from country to blues and jazz and more. Bernie's preparation for doing an improvisation after hearing a melody is about five seconds. It's astounding...and very beautiful.

Love Songs

MINDY



LYRICS

Mindy, a lovely vision to see....
From when we met I knew that,
Mindy, you're  the one for me......

Mindy,.... proud of all that you do,
I'm in love with you.
You're my dreams come true.

When you  meet someone,
That special day.
To share your life with, in such a precious way,

So dearest Mindy,  what I will always want to do.
Give my heart and my soul...and all my love to you.

IMPROVISATION IN CLASSICAL STYLE,
BY BERNIE KATZMAN





I LOVE YOU THE WAY THAT I DO

INSTRUMENTAL LYRICS

I know why, I know why, I know why,
I love you the way that  I do.
Cause it's clear in my mind,
That you're  one of a kind
With a soul that is gentle and true.

When I look at your face,
Then my heart starts to race.
And wherever  you are, it's a beautiful  place.
From the moment I met  you I knew, yes I knew,
That I love you the way , that I do.


It is clear in my mind, that you're one of a kind,
With a soul that is gentle and true.

When I look at your face,
Then my heart starts to race.
And wherever you are, is a beautiful place.

From the moment I met you I knew, to be true,
That I love  you immensely, and always intensely
That I'd love you the way that I do.


Improvisation by Bernie Katzman

Ilana Louise, The World's Singing for you

Original Song Instrumental

lyrics-

Ilana Louise you're my beautiful girl,
A diamond, a ruby, magnificent pearl.
From morning to morning, in all that I do.
My thoughts rarely stray from the marvelous you.

Ilana Louise I am able to say.
You're really quite brilliant, in a soft way.
Your accomplishments mount, then people realize,
You're a competent woman with intuitive eyes.

The leaves in the trees sing Ilana Louise,
The gentlest breeze hums Ilana Louise.
The busiest bumble bees buzz that song too...
Ilana Louise, the world's singing for you.

The people who know you have always agreed,
That you are a woman, whose bound to succeed,
Your beauty, a  vision, a sight to behold.
You are valuable, more, than all the world's gold

The fish in  the seas sing Ilana Louise,
The small chickadees sing Ilana Louise.
And people all love you and shout  your praise.
'Cause you are terrific in ten million ways.
