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

Jackie, hey what you doing now?
It seems like yesterday when we were working out
Jackie, 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 miss your sweet voice, that soulful noise on the night shift
We all remember you, ooh, your songs are coming through
At the end of a long day it's gonna be okay on the night shift
You found another home, I know you're not alone on the night shift
