'''Lyrics''' (in singular form '''Lyric''') are a set of words that accompany music, either by speaking or singing. The word 'lyric' derives from the [[Greek language|Greek]] word "lyrikos", meaning "singing to the lyre".<ref>[http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=lyric Online Etymology Dictionary.

The word ''lyric'' came to be used for the "words of a song"; this meaning was recorded in [[1829]].{{Fact|date=August 2008}} The common plural predominates contemporary usage. Use of the singular form 'lyric' remains acceptable, yet is considered erroneous in referring to a singular song word as a 'lyric'.{{Fact|date=August 2008}} |
