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
