Nightshift

The Commodores

 

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)

 

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

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)

 

CHORUS

 

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
