When a zither starts to play
|
You'll remember yesterday
|
In its haunting strain
|
Vienna lives again
|
|
Free and bright and gay
|
In your mind a sudden gleam
|
Of a half forgotten dream
|
Seems to glimmer when you hear
|
The Third Man Theme
|
|
Once again there comes to mind
|
Someone that you left behind
|
Love that somehow didn't last
|
In that happy city of the past
|
|
Does she still recall the dream
|
That rapture so supreme
|
When first she heard the haunting
|
Third Man Theme
|
|
Carnivals and carousels
|
And ferris wheels and parasols
|
The Danube nights
|
The dancing lights again will shine
|
The zither's sweet refrain
|
Keeps swirling in your brain
|
|
Like new May wine
|
Strauss waltzes, candle-glow
|
And the laughter of long ago
|
Fill the magic chords
|
And make it seem like today
|
|
You never knew that you could be
|
Enchanted by a melody
|
The years will never drive it out
|
You don't know why
|
|
It's something you can't live without
|
You hear it in the twilight hush
|
And in the morning traffic rush
|
|
A song that's always new
|
In your heart a part of you
|
Oh, shines so brightly when you hear
|
The Third Man Theme
|
|
When a zither starts to play
|
You'll remember yesterday
|
In its haunting strain
|
Vienna lives again
|
|
Free and bright and gay
|
In your mind a sudden gleam
|
Of a well remembered dream
|
Seems to glimmer when you hear
|
The Third Man Theme
|
|
Once again there comes to mind
|
Someone that you left behind

Love that somehow didn't last
