- Words by Walter Lord, Music by Anton
Karas
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
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
