Sowin' Love - Paul Overstreet

Another Sunflower from the Garden

Sowin' Love
Paul Overstreet

I used to love to walk behind my Daddy
As he plowed our garden every spring
My little bare feet in the dirt would make me happy
As we talked about what harvest time would bring

He'd say, "Son this whole world is like a garden,
and what you sow you're surely gonna reap
where bitter seeds are planted, hearts will harden
but a caring hand will make the harvest sweet"
And

CHORUS:
He was sowin' love...for the family
He was so in love...he took a little extra time
Looking forward to a bountiful harvest
Like a good father does...he was sowin' love

How I used to love to sit and watch my Mama
Workin' with her needle and her thread
So patiently she'd listen to our problems
And we knew she heard every word we said

She'd say, "Children this old world is full of scratches
and in your life you're bound to have a few
I guess that's why the good Lord gave us patches
so we could start each day out feeling new"

CHORUS:
She was sewin' love...for her family
She was so in love...she took a little extra time
Looking forward to a bountiful harvest
Like a good mama does...she was sewin' love

CHORUS:
Yeah, they were so in' love...for their family
They were so in' love...they took a little extra time
Looking forward to a bountiful harvest
They took good care of us they were so in love
Yeah they did it all for us...they was sowin' love
