Have you ever seen Sydney from a 747 at night?
Sydney shines such a beautiful light
And I can see Bondi through my window way off to the right
And the curling waves on a distant break
And the sleeping city just about to wake
Have you ever seen Sydney from a 747 at night?

Now the red roofs are catching the first rays of the morning sun
My eyes are full of sand from my midnight run
And the captain says 'Belt up now, we'll be touching down in ten'
So I press my seat and I straighten up
I fold my tray and I stash my cup
As the red roofs are catching the first rays of the morning sun

Have you ever fallen for a girl with different coloured eyes?
And sent her letters full of lies
Have you ever longed to see the sun fall where it used to rise?
And quit your job on the spot
Bought that ticket, yeah, spent the lot
Have you ever fallen for a girl with different coloured eyes?

Have you ever seen Sydney from a 747 at night?
Have you ever seen Sydney from a 747 at night?
Have you ever seen Sydney from a 747 at night?
Me I've never seen Dallas from a DC9.

**Have you ever seen Sydney from the air,
And although you're leaving, you know you want to stay there.....oh so many times! Such a beautiful city and harbour and wonderful memories left behind. One of our favourite places.

***PLEASE INCLUDE A PHOTO OF YOUR SYDNEY NIGHT FLIGHT as proof of visit.
