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:
