When we look at how songs are put together, one really interesting part is the different kinds of rhyme schemes. Rhyme schemes help make the lyrics sound good and also affect how the song flows. Here are some common types:

1. AABB: This pattern has lines that rhyme in pairs. You can hear this in a lot of classic pop songs. For example:

   • "I see you in the night (A)
   • Everything feels so right (A)
   • Your smile shines so bright (B)
   • Like stars in flight (B)"

2. ABAB: This pattern alternates the rhymes, creating a fun, bouncy feel. You can find this in many rock and folk songs. For example:

   • "The sky is blue (A)
   • The sun is high (B)
   • I think of you (A)
   • As time goes by (B)"

3. ABBA: This pattern is like a cozy hug for the words. It’s often used in emotional ballads where feelings run deep.

4. AAA: This pattern, with three lines that rhyme together, is often used in choruses. It makes songs easy to remember and fun to sing along with, like in many pop anthems.

These rhyme patterns play an important role in songwriting. They help mix themes and feelings through clever word choices and arrangements. This makes each song a special musical adventure!
