Words that rhyme with Amour
Amour reads as a plain-speech anchor on the page; phonetically it's two-syllable, anchored on the wide /aส/, ending where it flows into the next line via a liquid. It's an unremarkable word until the verse asks it to do something. The word arrives in song as a low-register anchor. Type rhymes for amour into any dictionary and the answer is roughly the same: the perfect column gives you just enough to start, the family column is blank, and the slant pool is enormous on the vowel side. The slant-by-vowel column will carry you a long way past the strict matches.

Why amour rhymes the way it does
The phonology of amour is a two-syllable core: the /aส/ diphthong (/aส/), then it spills out through a liquid consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 8 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 137, assonance 2,674, and consonance 679. The empty family column matters less than it looks. Family rhymes are a strict-classifier construct; the songwriter's ear accepts most assonance matches in their place. What matters when you're writing: the ear forgives slants in service of meaning. If the strict rhyme is the predictable word, the assonance match will usually hit harder. Amour is a word where the slant choice almost always reads as more thoughtful than the obvious end-rhyme.
