Songs for your wife

28 songs · Updated 4 October 2026

Love songs are mostly written about the start: the meeting, the first kiss, the proposal. Songs for a wife have a harder job. They have to say something about years together, the mortgage, the kids, the bad patch you came through, and the fact that you would still choose her.

These are the songs that do that well. Every one is a real recording, with a line on what it says and when to play it, whether that is an anniversary, her birthday or a Tuesday night in the kitchen.

To dedicate to her

  1. 1

    Amazed — Lonestar, 1999

    About still being surprised by someone after years. A classic country dedication.

  2. 2

    She's Everything — Brad Paisley, 2006

    A list of all the things she is, ordinary and extraordinary. Written for his wife and it shows.

  3. 3

    The Luckiest — Ben Folds, 2001

    Quiet piano and the line every husband means. Better than most wedding songs.

  4. 4

    Everything — Michael Bublé, 2007

    Light, happy and grateful. A good one to send for no reason.

  5. 5

    God Gave Me You — Blake Shelton, 2011

    For a husband who knows he got lucky. Simple and heartfelt.

  6. 6

    Something — The Beatles, 1969

    Short and understated, about something in the way she moves. For a husband of few words.

  7. 7

    Truly Madly Deeply — Savage Garden, 1997

    If you were dating in the late nineties, this might already be your song.

  8. 8

    Lady — Kenny Rogers, 1980

    Old-fashioned devotion, written by Lionel Richie. For a wife who loves the classics.

Years together

For anniversaries and for looking back at how far you have come.

  1. 9

    Then — Brad Paisley, 2009

    I thought I loved you then. For a ten-year anniversary or beyond.

  2. 10

    Remember When — Alan Jackson, 2003

    Walks through a whole marriage: young love, kids, hard times, getting older. Have tissues ready.

  3. 11

    You're Still the One — Shania Twain, 1998

    They said it would not last. For couples who proved people wrong.

  4. 12

    Bless the Broken Road — Rascal Flatts, 2004

    For a marriage that came after other heartbreaks. Every wrong turn led to her.

  5. 13

    I Cross My Heart — George Strait, 1992

    A promise kept for good. Lovely for a vow renewal.

  6. 14

    I Won't Give Up — Jason Mraz, 2012

    For a marriage that has been through a rough year. Honest and steady.

  7. 15

    Of all the people and places, I love you more. For a big anniversary slideshow.

How to choose

Your wedding song still counts

Playing your first dance song on your anniversary is never a lazy choice. Add one new song that fits the years since.

Pick for her taste, not yours

A song she already loves beats a song you think she should love. Check what she plays when she is cooking.

Say why

A link with "this is what I think of when you are asleep on the sofa after a long day" will mean more than any lyric.

Make it an evening

Put the song on, turn the lights down and ask her to dance. It feels silly for about four seconds.

Questions people ask

What is the best song to dedicate to my wife?

"Amazed" by Lonestar, "She's Everything" by Brad Paisley and "The Luckiest" by Ben Folds are favourites. Your own wedding song is always a good choice for an anniversary.

What song can I play for my wife on our anniversary?

"Remember When" by Alan Jackson or "Then" by Brad Paisley for looking back, "At Last" or your first dance song for a slow dance.

What is a good song for my wife's birthday?

Something light and happy, like "Everything" by Michael Bublé or "My Girl" by The Temptations, or a song from the year you met.

What song says sorry to a wife?

"I Won't Give Up" by Jason Mraz or "Make You Feel My Love" by Adele. A song is a start, not a substitute for the conversation.
