You Are the Cream in My Coffee - Nat King Cole

You’re the cream in my coffee

You’re the salt in my stew

You’ll always be my necessity

I’d be lost without you

You’re the starch in my collar

You’re the lace in my shoe

You’ll always be my necessity

I’d be lost without you

Most men tell love tales

And each phrase dovetails

You’ve heard each known way

This way is my own way

You’re the sail of my love boat

You’re the captain and crew

You’ll always be my necessity

I’d be lost without you

You’re the sail of my love boat

You’re the captain and crew

You’ll always be my necessity

Like a restaurant with a recipe

You’re the lace in my shoe

I’d be lost without you
