Words that rhyme with Eyes
Take eyes apart phonetically and the bones are these: one-syllable, vowel on the gliding /aɪ/, ending that ends in a hissed consonant. The line containing it points at speech or song. From the rhyme-data side: the perfect-rhyme pool is generous, no near-perfect family slants exist for this one, and the vowel-match pool carries the volume. From the lyric side, it works as a word that puts a picture in the air. The strict list gives you a chorus' worth of options before you ever need a slant.

Why eyes rhymes the way it does
In our engine, eyes registers as a one-syllable word on the full-throated /aɪ/ (/aɪz/) that softens into a fricative tail. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 407 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 429, assonance 3,493, and consonance 1043. That's a deep perfect column. The song can ride strict rhymes from end to end, only sliding into assonance when the line needs to surprise. Writing-tip: don't end every line with the strict rhyme. Use the slant columns at the joints and the strict matches at the seams. Eyes works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
