| 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 |
