Nightshift Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Marvin, he was a friend of mine
And he could sing his song, his heart in every line
Marvin sang of the joy and pain
He opened up our minds, I still can hear him say
"Oh, talk to me, so you can see what's going on"
Say you will sing your songs forevermore

[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 (On the nightshift)
You found another home, I know you're not alone on the nightshift

[Verse 2]
Jackie, hey, what you doing now?
It seems like yesterday when we were working out
Jackie, you sеt the world on fire
You came and giftеd 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

[Chorus]
Gonna be some sweet sounds coming down on the nightshift (On the nightshift)
I bet you're singing proud, oh, I bet you'll pull a crowd
It's gonna be a long night, it's gonna be all right on the nightshift (On the nightshift)
You found another home, I know you're not alone on the nightshift
[Bridge]
Gonna miss your sweet voice (Sweet voice)
That soulful noise on the nightshift
We all remember you
Your song is coming through

[Chorus]
Gonna be a long night, it's gonna be all right on the nightshift (On the nightshift)
You found another home, I know you're not alone on the nightshift
You found another home, I know you're not alone on the nightshift

[Outro]
(On the nightshift)
(On the nightshift)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
