Lyrics

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

And I still can hear him say

Oh, talk to me, so you can see, what's goin' on

Say you will, sing your songs, for evermore, evermore

Gonna be some sweet sounds

Comin' 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 alright, 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

Jackie, hey, what you doing now?

It seems like yesterday, when we were working out

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

For evermore, evermore, evermore

Gonna be some sweet sounds

Comin' 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 alright, 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 singing proud

Oh, I bet you'll pull a crowd

Gonna be a long night

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

That soulful noise

On the nightshift, nightshift

We all remember you, remember you, remember you

Oh, you're songs are comin' through

At the end of a long day

It's gonna be okay

On the nightshift, nightshift

You found another home

I know you're not alone, on the nightshift

Gonna be some sweet sounds, sweet sweet sounds
