Jay,
Doing this would not be standard notation, so
LilyPond
does not provide a straight-forward way to achieve
it.
At one time it was quite common to tie the note to
a
quaver (8th note) in the following bar, with a
lyric
extender, to show the note needed to be sung for
the
full duration, but this seems to have fallen out
of
practice these days.

Subject: Line in lyrics to show half or
full note
When a lyric syllable corresponds to several notes, it is easy to
get a line extending under all the notes concerned. When a lyric syllable
corresponds to a single full note (or dotted full or a half note) I would like
to see a line the extends from the lyric till the completion of the current
note. Here is an example:
%%%%%%%%%
\version "2.18.2"
<<
\new Voice = melody {
\relative c' {c4 d e f g1}}
\new Lyrics \lyricsto melody { cee dee eee ef gee}
>>
%%%%%%%%%
This is what it produces:
This is what I would like to see with a line showing that the lyric gee
extends to the end of the measure:
