As far as I can see, you instantiate here a second voice.
What I would have done is consider it as a chord scheme:

\version "2.10.25"
\paper {
   ragged-right = ##t
}
\score {
   <<
       \new Voice="twinkle" \relative c' {
           c c g' g
           <a f>4 <a f> <e g>2
           \bar "|."
       }
       \new Lyrics \lyricsto "twinkle" {
           Twin -- kle, twin -- kle, lit -- tle star.
       }
   >>
}



which works perfectly as you wanted.
