When I was a child
In order to see Mama soon, I hurried
And ran back home
Today, nothing is going well
In such times
I remember that smile

“Let’s put down the burdens on our shoulders”
Was that what she said?
The sky we looked up at connects us

Looking for your Smile
Always, no matter when
Looking for your Smile
That beloved smile is there
Looking for your Smile
It’s ok if I can’t strive on
I’ll just go to see my Mama

What are the things
That make you smile? What are they?
I try to imagine
Just by working hard
Surely
You’ll be satisfied

Right in the middle of a cinnamon roll
That rewarding taste
Is sweet and salty, so gentle

It’s a Beautiful Day!
Chasing after the sun
It’s a Beautiful Day!
Once we tire, we’ll rest a bit
It’s a Beautiful Day!
I’ll wait at this spot
Where we can always hear the wind’s song

Someday, when I
Become a Mama
Will I be able to smile strongly
And welcome my loved ones?

Looking for your Smile
Always, no matter when
Looking for your Smile
That beloved smile is there
Looking for your Smile
It’s ok if I can’t strive on
I won’t look back anymore
The beautiful flowers sway
I’ll just go to see my Mama

Always, no matter when
I want to see your smile

Kodomo no koro
Mama ni aitakutte isoide
Hashitta kaerimichi
Kyou wa nanimo umaku ikanai
Sonna toki
Ukabu no wa ano egao

Kata no chikara nuite ikimashou
Nante kotaetan dakke?
Mi ageta sora ga tsunagaru

Looking for your Smile
Itsumo donna toki ni mo
Looking for your Smile
Koishii egao ga arunda
Looking for your Smile
Ganbaranakutemo ii dareka ni
Watashi no mama ai ni yukou

Kimi wa donna toki ni
Egao ni naru? Donna toki?
Souzou shite miru no
Ganbattetara sono bun dake
Kitto ne
Ii kao wo shiteru no sa

Shinamon rooru no mannaka no maru
Gohoubi no sono aji wa
Amakute shoppakute yasashii

It’s a Beautiful Day!
Taiyou oi kakete
It’s a Beautiful Day!
Tsukaretara sukoshi yasumou
It’s a Beautiful Day!
Kono basho de matteru ne
Itsudemo kaze no uta wa kikoeteru

Itsu no hi ni ka watashi ga
Mama ni natta nara
Kokoro tsuyoi egao de
Taisetsu na hito wo mukae rareru no kana

Looking for your Smile
Itsumo donna toki ni mo
Looking for your Smile
Koishii egao ga arunda
Looking for your Smile
Ganbaranakutemo ii dareka ni
Mou furi kaeranai
Kirei na hana yurashi
Watashi no mama ai ni yukou

Itsudatte donna toki mo
Sono egao ni aitai

KANJI

こどものころ
ママに会いたくって　急いで
走った帰り道
今日は何もうまくいかない
そんなとき
浮かぶのは　あの笑顔

肩のちから抜いていきましょう
なんて答えたんだっけ？
見上げた空がつながる

Looking for your Smile
いつもどんなときにも
Looking for your Smile
恋しい笑顔があるんだ
Looking for your Smile
がんばらなくてもいい誰かに
わたしのまま　会いに行こう

君はどんなときに
笑顔になる？どんなとき？
想像してみるの
がんばってたらそのぶんだけ
きっとね
いい顏をしてるのさ

シナモンロールのまんなかのまる
ごほうびのその味は
甘くてしょっぱくて やさしい

It’s a Beautiful Day！
太陽追いかけて
It’s a Beautiful Day！
疲れたら　少し休もう
It’s a Beautiful Day！
この場所で待ってるね
いつでも　風の歌は聴こえてる

いつの日にか私が
ママになったなら
心強い笑顔で
大切なひとを　迎えられるのかな

Looking for your Smile
いつもどんなときにも
Looking for your Smile
恋しい笑顔があるんだ
Looking for your Smile
がんばらなくてもいい　誰かに
もう振り返らない
きれいな花　揺らし
わたしのまま　会いに行こう

いつだって　どんなときも
その笑顔に会いたい
