Theme
Ben And Holly Lyrics

When a zither starts to play
The sound of a zither makes you feel nostalgic and takes you back to the past.

You'll remember yesterday
Listening to the zither reminds you of past memories.

In its haunting strain
The melody of the zither is both beautiful and sorrowful.

Vienna lives again
The music brings back the memory of Vienna, a city that is associated with music and romance.

Free and bright and gay
The music brings back feelings of happiness and joy.

In your mind a sudden gleam
The music sparks a sudden and vivid memory in your mind.

Of a half forgotten dream
The memory that the music brings back was once forgotten or overlooked.

Seems to glimmer when you hear the third man theme
The melody of the music brings back a memory that is faint but still vividly remembered.

Once again there comes to mind
The music triggers another memory.

Someone that you left behind
The memory is connected to someone that you were once close to but are no longer in contact with.

Love that somehow didn't last
The memory is associated with a relationship that ended prematurely.

In that happy city of the past
The memory is linked to a specific location from the past that was once filled with joy.

Does she still recall the dream
The memory involves wondering if the other person still remembers and cherishes the same memories.

That rapture so supreme
The memory is associated with intense feelings of joy and passion.

When first she heard the haunting third man theme?
The memory is linked to a specific moment in the past when the music was heard.

Carnivals and carousels and Ferris wheels and parasols
The music brings back memories of happy and carefree times.

The Danube nights, the dancing lights again will shine
The music brings back memories of nights spent by the Danube river, dancing under the light of stars.

The zither's sweet refrain
The melody of the zither is soothing and calming.

Keeps swirling in your brain
The melody of the zither is stuck in your head and you can't stop thinking about it.

Like new may wine
The melody of the zither is refreshing and rejuvenating, like a newly made wine.

Strauss waltzes, candle-glow
The music brings back memories of romantic evenings spent dancing to Strauss waltzes under the soft glow of candlelight.

And the laughter of long ago
The music brings back memories of the joy and laughter shared with friends and loved ones from the past.

Fill the magic chords and make it seem like today
The music has the power to transport you back to the past and make it feel like you are reliving those moments again.

You never knew that you could be
The music brings about emotions that you didn't know existed within you.

Enchanted by a melody
The melody of the zither is magical and captivating.

The years will never drive it out
The memory and emotions associated with the music will continue to stay with you, even as time passes.

You don't know why
You can't explain why the music has such a strong effect on you, but you know that it does.

It's something you can't live without
The music has become a part of you and you can't imagine life without it.

You hear it in the twilight hush
The melody of the zither is amplified during quiet moments like dawn or dusk.

And in the morning traffic rush
The melody of the zither can still be heard even in the midst of chaotic and noisy environments like during morning traffic.

A song that's always new
The melody of the zither never gets old and is always refreshing.

In your heart a part of you
The music has become so dear to you that it feels like a part of who you are.

Oh, shines so brightly when you hear the third man theme
The memory becomes more vivid and intense when you hear the melody of the third man theme.
