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
