Lyrics of Give your smile
We’ve got time for friendship
Sunshine makes us happy
Even rain stops
if you smile
Give me your smile
Oh, and there is nothing else I need
Oh oh oh
Give me your smile
Oh, and there is nothing else I need
We’ve got time for friendship
Sunshine makes us happy
And if you smile, if you smile
Sun smiles and I am happy
I painted this smile and everybodies’ smiles
This fantasy is so beautiful
I’ll paint colored dream today
When Fairy tale smiles
Smile Flake fall down the sky
This white dream will come true and last forever
