Hi,

do you mean like below?

\version "2.18.2"

#(set-global-staff-size 17.82)

    \score{
      <<
        \new Voice = "Darcy" \relative c' {
          \autoBeamOff
          \compressFullBarRests
          \key d \major \time 2/2 \clef treble
          a'8 r r4 r2 %62
          R1*3 %63-65
          <<
            {
              r2..\fermata
            }
            \context Lyrics = "lyr"
            {
              \lyricmode {
              \override LyricText.font-shape = #'italic
              \override LyricText.self-alignment-X = #LEFT
                \markup {
                  \line {
                    \fontsize #1 \upright \smallCaps Esther: "Hey! I
don't feel so icky"
                  }
                }8*4
                "anymore!"8*3
             \revert LyricText.self-alignment-X
              }
            }
          >>
          \override NoteHead.style = #'cross
          b8^\markup \fontsize #1 \smallCaps {Sasha and Chorus} %66
          b r r4 r2\bar "|." %67
        }
        \context Lyrics = "lyr" \lyricsto "Darcy" {
          \override LyricHyphen.minimum-distance = #1.0
          \set lyricMelismaAlignment = #CENTER
          long.
          Hur -- ray!
