Centerpiece is a 1958 jazz standard, usually performed in a swing style. It was written by Harry Edison and Jon Hendricks.
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 centerpieceCovers
The song is incorporated into a medley, with her own song "Harry's House", by Joni Mitchell, on her 1975 album The Hissing of Summer Lawns. Jazz singer Roseanna Vitro recorded the song on her 1984 debut LP, Listen Here.
