Here's a book full of good suggestions....https://www.sheetmusicplus.com/title/Lyrical-Piano-Pieces/16333936
Suggesting a certain piece for anyone else is difficult. Pick one.....

Good luck

What sort of a standard are you looking for?

Thanks for the web site with the different pieces.  :)
And thanks Bachbyte, I'm unsure of the type of standard.  It's for my daughter and I'm working night shift unable to ask her at this time and I don't play piano  :(

You are very welcome. I think having a choice is always best. Having the sheet music doesn't hurt either. Tell your daughter good luck for me...

***Thanks Jimbo, I will tell her, you have been a great help.  One question which may sound silly to you.  Would "Fur Elise" be considered a lyrical?  Like I said I don't play piano, she has been practicing a a version of Fur Elise, Turkish March and Faith Noel by Transibrian Orchestra.  Just unsure if Fur Elise is lyrical?

Chiplady,
I may be wrong but I believe it is. By a coincidence 'Fur Elise' and 'Turkish March' were the first two pieces I learned to play completely through.
I find that being not so rigid allows me to be more expressive. If art is an expression of the heart, why not let it fly?

I think is Gyzzmo who have two splendid lists of pieces, according the level of difficulty. Bernhard also put here a list of splendid pieces for beginners. Have a look.
Best wishes
