I usually think of writing "lyrical" prose like writing poetry that begs to be set to music. If you read it back and get that veague sense of intaggible emotional feel you do with a song, then you might just have "lyrical" prose. However, if you've ever read song lyrics you'll know that some lyrics sound amazing when you hear them in the context of the song but are laughable read without music. When you're writing "lyrical" prose, the thing is that you want it to be veaguely similar to the type of writing that can be set to music (song lyrics) but it won't be set to music so it should be lyrical (like lyrics) and not actual lyrics.
