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

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

Jackie (Jackie), hey what'you 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)

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
(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

Gonna be some sweet sounds
(Sweet sounds)
Comin' down, on the nightshift
(Oh on the nightshift)
I'll bet you're singing proud
(I know you're singing proud)
Oh, I'll bet you're full of pride
(Oh yeah)
Gonna be a long night
(Gonna be alright)
It's gonna be alright
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)
That soulful noise
(soulful noise)
On the nightshift,
(nightshift,on the nightshift)
We all remember you,
(remember you, remember you)
Oooh you're songs are comin' through
(Oh oooh oh oooh oh oh oh)
