It's true that she doesn't say in this part that she wants to show her smile to "him". But this is a love song to a particular person, and I think it's unnatural to interprete that she wants to show her smile to "everyone". So I added "him" to my translation.
Hmm, okay. But I think you should consider just leaving it out. For any song it's strange to put in a word that isn't really there, and with this song especially it's strange as it's not necessarily directed at a male person.

You can say 'I want to show my smile' without meaning specifically everyone and him. it gets the idea across.
