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

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

 Jackie (Jackie),
 hey whatcha 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 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
