Have you ever seen Sydney from a 727 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 727 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 727 at night?

Have you ever seen Sydney from a 727 at night?

Have you ever seen Sydney from a 727 at night?

Me I've never seen Dallas from a DC9
