The easiest is probably to use \addlyrics. By default, this will result
in a new lyrics
line below the current, but you can use the alignAboveContext property
to fix that:
a4 b2 d4 e2 e4 fis2 {e4 d4( c) }\addlyrics { \set
alignAboveContext = "upper" like me }
Note that I included one note extra to get the full slur within the
{...} before the
\addlyrics, since this section will end up in a separate Voice context.
