Centerpiece (song)

Centerpiece is a 1958 jazz standard. It was written by Harry Edison and Jon Hendricks.[1]

The song is a love song, with the lyrics indicating that the singer feels incomplete without his lover. Each of the two verses ends with the couplet:

But nothing's any good without you
'Cause baby you're my centerpiece
