Lyrics:

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)



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 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

It's gonna be all right

On the nightshift

Oh 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 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
