Adjective
To the ancient Greeks, anything lyrikos was appropriate to the lyre.
That elegant stringed instrument was highly regarded by the Greeks and was used to accompany intensely personal poetry that revealed the thoughts and feelings of the poet. When the adjective lyric, a descendant of lyrikos, was adopted into English in the 1500s, it too referred to things pertaining or adapted to the lyre. Initially, it was applied to poetic forms (such as elegies, odes, or sonnets) that expressed strong emotion, to poets who wrote such works, or to things that were meant to be sung; over time, it was extended to anything musical or rhapsodic.
Nowadays, lyric is also used as a noun naming either a type of poem or the words of a song.

lyric & lyrical
These two adjectives may be used interchangeably
to refer to anything that is characterized by spontaneous feeling,
by an outpouring of emotion.
Both words are applied to poetry
that has the musical quality of song and
to any kind of writing or speech reflecting sensation and mood:
“lyric (or lyrical) poetry,”
“lyric (or lyrical) song,”
“lyric (or lyrical) love letters.”
Lyric is more often used, and is preferred,
except when the feeling to be conveyed is somewhat unformed or vague:
“The mother was lyrical in praise of her daughter’s performance.”
Use of lyric to refer to the words of a song
(The melody is great, but the lyrics are poor) is informally colloquial.
