Freckles - The Oak Ridge Boys

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
