"Great American Songbook Standards"-like melody and piano score to accompany already-written lyrics

What is the project, and what do you want to achieve with it? Hi–this is a gift for my husband’s 75th birthday (on July 28th 2023). He is a pianist who especially loves American standards. I wrote the (very amateur) lyrics and want to commission someone to compose a suitable melody and produce a score he could play on the piano while I sing it to him.

What are the three top priorities for this project? A lovely traditional melody, maybe a little jazzy, slow and sweet
