Sowin Love

Overstreet Paul


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 talked about what her harvest time would bring 

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

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

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