Song words used in Joely Richardson's composition? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lyric

'song words' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'in joely richardson's composition?' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'LYRIC' is hidden in the letters of 'joely richardson composition'.

'used' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for lyric that I've seen before include "Poetic lines" , "Type of poem" , "Part of a libretto" , "having a light quality" , "Song's text" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
