Lyrics
They’d all called her Freckles when
Summer was coming around
All the kids that were running and
Laughing and some turned to brown
And I’d find her crying and hurt
By the words that they said
And follow her home just trying
To be her friend
And I’d say Freckles you’re pretty
There’s a rainbow on your face
Do you want to know a secret?
None of them could take your place
Cause your different and special
And she’d hold my hand and sigh
And say I always want to
See me through your eyes
But summers just turned into winters
And then into years
And slowly the smile of a
Woman replaced all her tears
And some how I knew in a while
That my friend would be gone
As I watched a sad ugly
Duckling turn into a swan
And I said Freckles you’re special
And she’d hold my hold and sigh
And say I always want to
See me through your eyes
But soon she was flying
Dancing laughing and proud
And I took my place, a face alone in a crowd
Knowing her lovers can’t see past
Her smooth golden skin
And that’s how I know that
Freckles will come back again
And I’ll say Freckles I love you
There’s a rainbow on your face
Cause she’ll be smiling through her teardrops
As she runs to my embrace
Freckles you’re special
And she’ll take my hand and sigh
And say I only want to
See me through your eyes
And I’ll say Freckles I love you
There’s a rainbow on your face
Cause she’ll be smiling through
