A song for Henry
If you've searched "song for Henry", you've probably already been through the usual list: perfume, flowers, dinner somewhere nice. Things that are used up within a week. A song with Henry's name sung in the chorus stays on the phone, comes back every birthday, and makes the rounds of the family for years.
The difference from a song on the radio is simple: these verses are about him — with the moments, the nicknames and the memories only you know.
How "Henry" sounds in a chorus
The name isn't glued to the end of a line to rhyme with whatever's nearby. It sits in the sentence where you'd naturally say it: "Tonight I'm singing for Henry, for everything we've been" sounds like a real dedication; "...and then I drove back home, Henry" sounds like a forced rhyme — and that's exactly what we avoid.
In practice the name is heard three or four times per song: at least once in every chorus, plus in the verses where the story calls for it. Enough that Henry hears his name at every chorus, not so much that it turns into a jingle.
If the people who love him use another form — a nickname, a pet name — write it in the form and that's what gets sung. A nickname often lands on the beat better than the full name.
What to put in the story for Henry
The form has a field for the story, and what you write there becomes the verses. To fill it without effort, answer these:
What does Henry do that nobody else does? What pulled you together at the start — and what kept you together when it was hard? What's the word, gesture or ritual you'd recognize him by anywhere? What would you say to Henry if you knew he would listen with full attention for three minutes — because that's exactly what's about to happen?
The answers can be four sentences or twenty; both work. What matters is that they're yours: the name in the chorus opens the ears, but it's the details in the verses that bring the tears.

What customers say
A song for my daughter on her first birthday. Tender and personal. I would have liked one or two more details in it, but overall really lovely.
The process was simple: pick the style, pick the mood, write the story, done. Two versions within minutes. The perfect gift when you have run out of ideas.
I expected something robotic and it was surprisingly natural. The lyrics genuinely picked up the details I had written. Well done!
