[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus]

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

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

[Verse 2]

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 forevermore

[Chorus]

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

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

Gonna be some sweet sounds, coming down on the nightshift

I bet you're singing proud, 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 noise on the nightshift

We all remember you, your 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

Gonna be some sweet sounds
