A lyricist is a songwriter who specializes in lyrics. A singer who writes the lyrics to songs is a singer-lyricist[citation needed]. This differentiates from a singer-composer[citation needed], who composes the song's melody.
Collaboration takes different forms. Some composers and lyricists work closely together on the song, with each having an input into both words and tune. Oftentimes, a lyricist will fill in the words to a tune already fully written out. Dorothy Fields worked in this way. Lyricists have often added words to an established tune, as Johnny Burke did with the Erroll Garner tune Misty. Some partnerships work almost totally independently, for example, Bernie Taupin famously writes lyrics and hands them over to Elton John, who then sets them to music, with minimum interaction between the two men.
In the Christian hymn-singing tradition, many of the best-loved pieces have words written to fit existing melodies. The Christmas carol, What Child Is This, had its words set to an old English folk tune that formerly was a lover's lament, Greensleeves. The English composer Ralph Vaughan Williams famously set existing poems, by men like William Cowper and Charles Wesley, to traditional folk tunes to create hymns, many of which he published in the English Hymnal. A different way in which this happened was the marriage of non-related words and tune, a well known example being The Star-Spangled Banner, the national anthem of the United States, with words written by Francis Scott Key strictly as a poem, which was later set to the tune of an old drinking song.

If you were in my world, girl! You would have made my heart become brighter like a pearl, can you feel the love?
As it whirls, with the butterflies tangling inside, you've got me twirling and I can't stop smiling.
I just want our first true love to be a memory; something worth remembering like in December on Christmas day, without expecting anything in return, all I want is a fairytale.
Since your prettiness is blowing in the wind, you're one of a kind, you caught my love blind, I must be love-struck, isn't that lucky, you made my mind, go crazy, for you girl!
When my day is becoming worst, you're the girl! That brings joy to it, with your motivation, you have the sweetest heart on this earth and you lift my self-esteem with inspiration and that swift's me away to believe in myself.
The generous inside of you is so sweet that it greets my heart with something called love, while everyone is above; you're the girl that I can't fleet from.
The hotness inside of you makes the jealously inside every girl rot, and If you ever gave me the chance, I will never give up on you, can you see that you're the girl I've been looking for.
I got to find her out there, somewhere, and let her know that her happiness is my plan; I just want you to know that I'll be the guy, you can count on.
(Chorus 1)
Will you give me the true love that I need.
(Will it be you, girl! )
Will you tell me what my true love means to you.
(Will it be you, girl! )
Will it, will it, will it be you.
(I know I'm young but I just want to find my first true love.)

By far, you're something special that I would like to keep; can you see that my love is getting deeper?
And if you do, let's travel to the planet of love and make it real.
I got to find her out there, somewhere, and let her know that her happiness is my plan; I just want you to know that I'll be the guy, you can count on.
(Chorus 2)
