Please always specify a relevant subject of your emails.
Also, always tell what LilyPond version you use, if you want
a relevant answer.

You could start the second line with a \skip (for example \skip 1*8
to skip 8 full measures in 4/4). However, this only works if you
specify the durations manually of each syllable (i.e. don't use
\lyricsto for that line). Example:

\score{
 <<
  \context Voice = music \notes { c d e f | g4. f8 e4 d |}
  \lyricsto music \lyrics \new Lyrics {
    do re mi fa sol fa mi re }
  \lyrics \new Lyrics {
   \skip 1 sol4. fa8 mi4 re }
 >>
}
