Semi-newbie question about lyrics

Hi,

I've been searching the docs, but can't figure out why this won't work...

Here's a faily minimal sample of what I'm trying to do.

\version "2.6.3"

chordsOne = { \chords {
                                c2 c/e f g4:sus4 g
                                c1 es:dim
                                f c2 a:7
                                d1:m as:dim
                                c/g
                                }
                        }

notesOne = {
                                R1*2
                                c4~ c16 b c b d8 c b a | c4 r16 b c b d8 c b a |
                                c4 r16 b c b d8 c b a | g4~ g16 f e f g4 r |
                                f4~ f16 e f e g8 f e d | f4 r16 e f e g8 f e d |
                                e4 r16 a, c d f8 e d c |
                        }

stanzaOne = { \lyrics {
                                \set stanza = "1. "
                                She may be the face I can't for- get, the trace 
of plea- sure or
re- gret, may- be my trea- sure or the price I have to pay. She may be
the song that sum- mer sings, may- be the chill that au- tumn brings,
may- be a hun- dred diff- 'rent
                                }
                        }


<<
        {
        \key bes \major
        \transpose c bes
        {
        \relative c'
        {
                \repeat volta 2
                <<
                        \chordsOne \\
                        \notesOne
                        \addlyrics \stanzaOne
                        %\addlyrics \stanzaTwo
                >>
        }
        }
        }
>>

Lilypond responds with this:
She2.ly:38:24: error: syntax error, unexpected \addlyrics
                        
                        \addlyrics \stanzaOne

How am I supposed to add the lyrics to the music in this case?
