Seeds of Love Lyrics

I sowed the seeds of love
I sowed them in the spring
Gathered them up in the morning so clear
When the small birds so sweetly sing
When the small birds so sweetly sing
The gardener was standing by
I asked him to choose for me
He chose for me the violet, the lily and the pink
But those I refused, all three
But those I refused, all three
Instrumental
But the violet I did not like
Because it bloomed so soon
The lily and the pink, I really over-think
So I thought I would wait 'til June
So I thought I would wait 'til June
In June there was a red rose bud
That is the flower for me
And often times I've plucked the red rose bud
'Til I gained the willow tree
'Til I gained the willow tree
Instrumental
The willow tree will twist
The willow tree will twine
And often times I've wished I was in the young man's arms
Who once had the heart of mine
Who once had the heart of mine
I sowed the seeds of love
I sowed them in the spring
Gathered them up in the morning so soon
When the small birds so sweetly sing
When the small birds so sweetly sing
