The short answer

Name what you notice about her that others miss. A song for your wife works when it is specific about her laugh, her habits and how she changed your days, and honest about what you are grateful for.

What to gather before you write

  • The moment you realized you loved her
  • A habit of hers that makes you smile
  • A place that belongs to the two of you
  • What you are grateful for this year

Three lyric angles

What I noticed first

Sample line

You laughed with your whole face and I forgot what I was saying.

Our place

Sample line

Same corner table, same two coffees, and nowhere else I'd rather be.

Thank you

Sample line

You carried more than you let me see, and I see it now.
