Freckles
Composer(s): Jimmy Dean
Performer(s): The Oak Ridge Boys; David Briggs



They’d all call her Freckles 
when summer was coming around
All the kids that were running and laughing and sun 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 you’re 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 turn into winters and then into years
And slowly the smile of a woman replaced all her tears
And somehow 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 hand 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 the 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”
And she’ll be smiling though 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”
