Step # 1 -- Add a background
First of all, click on the 'Add videos and photos' button and choose a suitable photo that can be used as a background for adding the lyrics. Once selected, it will appear on the story board.

Now play the song by clicking on the 'play' button and it will cover the first clip. To type the lyrics on screen, go to the 'home' tab and click on the 'Caption' button in the Add section after which the typing box will appear in the preview pane. Now type the lyrics of the song covering that particular portion of the clip.

Step # 4 -- Type complete lyrics
Once again, add the photo and play the song. Cover the lyrics that play over this part of the clip by going to the "home" tab and then click on the "caption" button. Type the lyrics for that part of the song. Repeat these steps until the song is complete. You can do further editing such as extending the time of every clip; in this way, one photo will cover more portion of the song. In this manner, you can create a lyrics video.
