Marvin, he was a friend of mine

And he could sing a song, his heart in every line

Marvin, sang of the joy and pain

He opened up our minds, and I still can hear him say

Aw talk to me so you can see what's going on

Say you will sing your songs forevermore (evermore)

CHORUS:

Gonna be some sweet sounds coming down on the nightshift

I bet you're singing proud, oh I bet you'll pull a crowd

Gonna be a long night, it's gonna be all right on the nightshift

Oh you found another home, I know you're not alone on the nightshift

Jackie (Jackie), hey whatcha doing now

It seems like yesterday when we were working out

Jackie (Jackie, oh) you set the world on fire

You came and gifted us, your love it lifted us higher and higher

Keep it up and we'll be there at your side

Oh say you will sing your songs forevermore (evermore)

CHORUS

Gonna miss your sweet voice that soulful voice on the nightshift

We all remember you, oh the songs are coming through

At the end of a long day it's gonna be okay on the nightshift

You found another home, I know you're not alone on the nightshift
