Marvin, he was a friend of mine
And he could sing his song, his heart in every line
Marvin sang of the joy and pain
He opened up our minds, I still can hear him say
"Oh, talk to me, so you can see, what's going on"
Say you will sing your songs forevermore (forevermore)

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

Jackie, hey, what you doing now?
It seems like yesterday when we were working out
Jackie, 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 (forevermore)

Gonna be some sweet sounds, coming down on the nightshift (on the nightshift)
I bet you're singing proud, oh, I bet you'll pull a crowd
It's gonna be a long night, it's gonna be all right
On the nightshift (on the nightshift)
You found another home, I know you're not alone, on the nightshift

Gonna miss your sweet voice (sweet voice), that soulful noise, on the nightshift
We all remember you, your song is coming through
Gonna be a long night, it's gonna be all right
On the nightshift (on the nightshift)
You found another home, I know you're not alone, on the nightshift
You found another home, I know you're not alone, on the nightshift

On the nightshift (ooh)
Oh, oh
On the nightshift
