The Third Man Theme Lyrics - Singles - Guy Lombardo

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
