Commodores - Nightshift (Up!)

 
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

Gonna be some sweet sounds, coming down on the nightshift
I bet you're singing proud, I bet you'll pull a crowd
Gonna be a long night, it's gonna be all right, 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

Jackie, 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
Say you will sing your songs forevermore

Gonna be some sweet sounds, coming down on the nightshift
I bet you're singing proud, I bet you'll pull a crowd
Gonna be a long night, it's gonna be all right, on the nightshift
You found another home, I know you're not alone, on the nightshift
Gonna be some sweet sounds, coming down on the nightshift
I bet you're singing proud, I bet you'll pull a crowd
Gonna be a long night, it's gonna be all right, on the nightshift
You found another home, I know you're not alone, on the nightshift
Gonna miss your sweet voice, that soulful noise, on the nightshift
We all remember you, your songs are coming through
And 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

Commodores - Lady (You Bring Me Up)

 
Lady, you bring me up when I'm down
Maybe you're gonna change my life around

You came to me when I was lonely
And no one cared
You made me see that I was only
Just running scared

I saw your face and something told me
You were the one
You smiled at me and now I see
My life's begun

Lady (Pretty lady), you bring me up when I'm down
(Up when I'm down)
Maybe you're gonna change my life around
(Gonna change my life around, yeah)
Lady, you brought me in from out the rain (Yeah)
Maybe my life will never be the same

Once I was filled with desperation
A solitary man
You gave me hope and inspiration
Like only true love can

Now I believe in what you're saying
I'm ten feet tall
This love don't need no explaining
We've got it all

Lady, you bring me up when I'm down (Up when I'm down)
Maybe (Maybe) you're gonna change my life around

Lady, you bring me up when I'm down (Up when I'm down)
Maybe (Yeah) you're gonna change my life around
(You're gonna change my life around)
Lady (Pretty lady), you brought me in from out the rain
Maybe my life will never be the same
(It'll never be the same, yeah)
Lady, you bring me up when I'm down (Up when I'm down)
Maybe (Maybe) you're gonna change my life around
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, lady)

Lady, you bring me up when I'm down
Maybe you're gonna change my life around

Lady...
