++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 


Irving Berlin (11 May 1888 – 22 September 1989) wrote both the music and lyrics for some of the most enduring songs in the Great American Songbook. 

 


 

 

"Doin' What Comes Natur'lly"


When Irving Berlin wrote a song

It was simple, straight-forward, and strong,

With expression so clear,

So naive and sincere,

It was like it was there all along.
