This time we almost made the pieces fit Didn't we? This time we almost made some sense of it Didn't we? This time I had the answer, right here in my hand Then I touched it and it had turned to sand This time we almost sang our song in tune Didn't we, love? This time we almost made it, made it to the moon Didn't we, love? This time we almost made our poem rhyme This time we almost made that long hard climb Didn't we almost make it? Didn't we almost make it? Didn't we almost make it this time?
