Freckles

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?

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
