Words that rhyme with Sometime
Sometime is a three-syllable word built around the bright /aษช/, and it lets the line ring through a nasal. Plain-speech words like this earn weight through context. Songwriters asking for rhymes for sometime run into the same map every time: the strict column is unhelpful here, no family-rhyme matches turn up, while the assonance pool has more matches than any verse will use. Its lyric role is a workaday word. Treat the assonance list as the main shelf โ the strict column is the footnote.

Why sometime rhymes the way it does
Sometime is built around a long-i vowel that opens the mouth (/i/); it's three-syllable and ends on a humming nasal. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 43, assonance 4,959, and consonance 2. 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 practice: start at the top of the perfect column, scan family next, and reach for the assonance pool when the strict matches feel worn. A lyric that uses only strict rhymes for sometime tends to read as dated; the contemporary ear forgives โ and often prefers โ the slant.
