GINGER ROGERS:
When you're by my side I feel at my best
I fill up with pride and I draw up my chest
My darling, I mean every syllable
You're caressable, lovable, thrillable

Like a port in the storm
Like a breeze when you're warm
Like sugar in your tea
You're such a comfort to me

Like a coat when you're cold
Like a cane when you're old
Like honey to a bee
You're such a comfort to me

I'm sure that you're as refreshing
As rain to a fading rose
A fireside when it snows
A stroll in the park, a kiss in the dark

Like a nest to a dove
Like a song when you're in love
You will always be
Such a comfort to me

JACK OAKIE:
Like a port in the storm
It's like a breeze when you're warm
Like sugar in your tea
You're such a comfort to me

THELMA TODD:
Like a coat when you're cold
Like a cane when you're old
Like honey to a bee
You're such a comfort to me

JACK HALEY:
I'm sure that you're as refreshing
As rain to a fading rose
A fireside when it snows
A stroll in the park, a kiss in the dark

Like a nest to a dove
Like a song when you're in love
You will always be
Such a comfort to me
