G C
They'd all called her Freckles when summer was coming around
D G
All the kids that were running and laughing and some turned to brown
G C
And I'd find her crying and hurt by the words that they said
D G
And follow her home just trying to be her friend
[Chorus]
G Em
And I'd say Freckles you're pretty
C G
There's a rainbow on your face
C G
Do you want to know a secret?
Em C D
None of them could take your place
G Em
Cause your different and special
C G
And she'd hold my hand and sigh
C D G
And say I always want to see me through your eyes
[Verse 2]
G C
But summers just turned into winters and then into years
D G
And slowly the smile of a woman replaced all her tears
G C
And some how I knew in a while that my friend would be gone
D G
As I watched a sad ugly duckling turn into a swan
[Chorus]
G Em
And I said Freckles you're special
C G
And she'd hold my hold and sigh
C D G
And say I always want to see me through your eyes
[Verse 3]
G C
But soon she was flying, dancing laughing and proud
D G
And I took my place, a face alone in a crowd
C
Knowing her lovers can't see past her smooth golden skin
D G
And that's how I know that Freckles will come back again
[Chorus]
G Em
And I'll say Freckles I love you
C G
There's a rainbow on your face
C G
Cause she'll be smiling through her teardrops
Em C D
As she runs to my embrace
G Em
Freckles you're special
C G
And she'll take my hand and sigh
C D G
And say I only want to see me through your eyes
G Em
And I'll say Freckles I love you
C G
There's a rainbow on your face
C
Cause she'll be smiling through
