幸せのものさし (Shiawase no Monosashi)

[竹内まりや「幸せのものさし」歌詞]

[序奏]
One, two, three and four
Count what you have now, don't count what you don't have

[サビ]
Count what you have now
Don't count what you don't have
Find that you have so much

[ヴァース 1]
がんばりすぎる自分に　疲れてふと泣けてきた
真夜中のバスルームで
まだ手にしたことのない　幸せがどこかにある気がして
焦るのは年のせい?
ひとり楽しく生きてきたの　何ひとつ悔やんでないけど
曇った鏡のように　明日が見えない

[コーラス]
(Can't you see? Can't you see?)
自由と孤独はふたつでセット
気ままなほど寂しさもついてくる
(Don't you know?　Don't you know?)
隣の芝生が青く見えたら
この庭に花を植えればいい

[サビ]
Count what you have now (You have)
Don't count what you don't have (You don't have)
Find that you have so much

[ヴァース 2]
ないものねだりしながら　みんな迷って生きてる
大人になってからも
足元に咲いたきれいな花に気づくだけで
人はうれしい気持ちになれるのに
いつか胸の奥に抱えた　ジレンマの迷路抜ければ
本当に大事なもの　知る日が来るだろう

[コーラス]
(Can't you see?　Can't you see?)
どんな道を選んだとしても
悩みの数同じだけついてくる
(You can choose, you can choose)
私が決める私のプライオリティ
何を取って何を諦めるの

(Can't you see? Can't you see?)
幸せの基準はかるものさし
自分の心の中にあるのさ
(You can find, you can find)
足りないもの数えるくらいなら
足りてるもの数えてごらんよ！
Count what you have now, don't count what you don't have

[サビ]
Count what you have now
(Can't you see? Can't you see? You have)
Don't count what you don't have
(Don't you know? Don't you know? You don't have)
Find that you have so much
(You can choose, you can choose
You can find, you can find)

Count what you have now
(Can't you see? Can't you see? You have)
Don't count what you don't have
(Don't you know? Don't you know? You don't have)
Find that you have so much
(You should choose, you should choose
You can find, you can find)

[アウトロ]
Find that you have so much
(You can find, you can find)
Find that you have so much
(You can find, you can find)
You can find
