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 goin' on

Say you will sing your songs forevermore

Gonna be some sweet sounds comin' down on the nightshift

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

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

On the nightshift, 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, mmm, hey, what you doin' now?

It seems like yesterday when we were workin' out

Jackie, whoa, 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

Gonna be some sweet sounds comin' down on the nightshift

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

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

On the nightshift, you found another home

I know you're not alone on the nightshift

Gonna be some sweet sounds comin' down on the nightshift

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

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

On the nightshift, you found another home

I know you're not alone on the nightshift

Gonna miss your sweet voice, that soulful voice on the nightshift

We all remember you, ooh, the songs are comin' 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

Gonna be some sweet sounds comin' down on the nightshift
