Happy Smile Again
いきものがかり Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(Happy smile again)
都会のビルから
おどけた太陽が顔出す
「またフラれたの?」
切りすぎた前髪 隠しきれないよ
手にしたチャンスの切れ端
ポケットのなかで
クシャクシャになるまで握るよ
もう離さない
"I" を生きたいから
"I can" そう歌うよ
この小さな胸に 夢が詰まってんだ
ほら 心を広げて また笑うよ
Happy smile again
そんな言葉を 口ずさんで今日も
あたしでいられるかな
なんて思ってみる そうだよ
きっとステキになれる
ストーリーは今 動き始めて
晴れわたった空に
続いていけるように
なんて笑ってみる
そうだよ 深呼吸
さあ歩き出そう
かわいいヒツジを
今夜も数えて眠るよ
あなたの夢はもう少し
お預けしてまた朝を迎える
悲しみを忘れない
思い出もいっぱい持ったよ
この小さな胸を 恥じることは無い
ほら背筋を伸ばして また笑うよ
Happy smile again
そんな合図を 送りながら明日も
あたしでいられるように
なんて思ってみる そうだよ
きっとキレイになれる
神様は今 未来のページを
めくりかけてちょっと
意地悪しているんだ
なんてスネてみる だめだよ
あたしは あきらめないよ
Happy smile again
そんな願いを いつだってねずっと
大切にできるかな
なんて信じてみる そうだよ
きっとシアワセになれる
Happy smile again
そんな言葉を 口ずさんで今日も
あたしでいられるかな
なんて思ってみる
そうだよ 深呼吸 さあ歩き出そう
(Happy smile again)
