The Commodores › Lyrics › Nightshift

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

"Aww, talk to me so you can see
What's goin' on?
Say you will sing your songs
Forevermore"

Gonna be some sweet sounds
Comin' down on the night shift
I bet you're singin' proud
Oh, I bet you'll pull a crowd

Gonna be a long night
It's gonna be all right
On the night shift

You found another home
I know you're not alone
On the night shift

You found another home
I know you're not alone
On the night shift

Jackie, hey, what you're doin' now?
It seems like yesterday
When we were workin' 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

Gonna be some sweet sounds
Comin' down on the night shift
I bet you're singin' proud
Oh, I bet you'll pull a crowd

Gonna be a long night
All right
On the night shift

You found another home
I know you're not alone
On the night shift

Gonna be some sweet sounds
Comin' down on the night shift
I bet you're singin' proud
Oh, I bet you'll pull a crowd

Gonna be a long night
It's gonna be all right
On the night shift

You found another home
I know you're not alone
On the night shift
