Lyrics
(C)When a zith er starts to play,
(G7)you’ll re mem ber yes ter day.
In its haunt ing strain, Vi en na lives a gain,
(C)free and bright and gay.
In your mind a sud den gleam
(G7)of a half for got ten dream
seems to glim mer when you hear “The Third
Man (C)Theme.”
(C)Once a gain there comes to mind
(G7)some one that you left be hind,
love that some how did n’t last
(C)in that hap py cit y of the past.
(A7)Does she still re call the dream,
that (Dm)rap ture so (A7)su (Dm)preme
when (G7)first she heard the haunt ing “Third
Man
(C)Theme”?
(C)Car ni vals and car ou sels and Fer ris wheels and par a sols, the Dan ube nights, the danc ing lights a gain will shine.
The zith er’s sweet re frain keeps swirl ing in your brain (G7)like new
May wine.
Strauss waltz
es, can dle glow, and the laugh ter
of long a go
fill the mag ic chords and make it seem like
(G)to (C)day.
You (C)nev er knew that you could be
en chant ed by a mel o (G7)dy.
The years will nev er drive it out;
you don’t know why it’s some thing (C)you can’t live with out.
You hear it in the twi light hush
and in the morn ing traf fic (G7)rush;
a song that’s al ways new in your heart,
a
part
of (C)you.
(G7)Oh.
(G7)of a well re mem bered dream
shines so bright ly when you hear “The Third
Man (C)Theme.”
