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 bracketed

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 bracketed hey whatcha doing now

it seems like yesterday

when we were working out

jackie bracketed 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 bracketed

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

oh 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
