Why daytime rhymes the way it does
Pull daytime apart phonetically and you get a two-syllable word with a long-i vowel that opens the mouth (/i/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close trails through a nasal hum. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 268, assonance 6,576, and consonance 18. That's a narrow strict column with a very deep slant well beneath it. Modern songwriting reads those slants as rhymes; the ear has been trained on them for a century. In the room with a guitar: write toward the strict rhyme first, then go back through and replace the obvious ones with the assonance matches that earned their place. Daytime is a word that benefits from the second pass.
