Studio Sessions: Only The Strong Survive
Nightshift |
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
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 alright on the nightshift (on the nightshift)
You found another home, I know you're not alone on the nightshift
Jackie, hmm 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
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 alright on the nightshift (on the nightshift)
You found another home, I know you're not alone on the nightshift
Gonna miss your sweet voice (sweet voice), that soulful noise on the nightshift
We all remember you, your song is coming through
Gonna be a long night, it's gonna be alright on the nightshift (on the nightshift)
You found another home, I know you're not alone on the nightshift (ooh ooh-ooh ooh)
You found another home, I know you're not alone on the nightshift
On the nightshift (ooh ooh-ooh ooh-ooh)
Oh oh (ooh ooh-ooh ooh-ooh)
On the nightshift
