The second verse has an extra space.
When you use associatedVoice, you don't need to set the length of the 
syllabes. Even better is using \lyricsto:

\version "2.12.2"
#(ly:set-option 'point-and-click #f)
    
melody = 
{
  \clef treble
  \key c \major
  \time 6/8 
  r4. r8 e'8 [ c'8 ] |
  d'16 [  e'16 ] d'4~ d'4.  |
  r4 g8 g8 [  b8 d'8 ] |
  e'16 [  d'16 ] c'4~ c'4.  |
}


\score {
  <<
    \new Voice = "melody" \melody
    \new Lyrics \lyricsto "melody" {
      Just a per -- fect day, __ 
      drink sang -- ri --   a in the park, __
    }
    \new Lyrics \lyricsto "melody" {
      Just a per -- fect day, __
      pro -- blems all left a -- _ lone. __
    } 
  >>
}
