This time we almost made
The pieces fit
Didn't we, girl?
This time we almost made
Some sense of it
Didn't we, girl?
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, girl?
This time we almost made it
To the moon
Oh, didn't we, girl?
This time we almost
Made our poem rhyme
This time we almost made
That long hard climb
Didn't we almost make it
This time?
This time we almost
Made our poem rhyme
Didn't we almost make it
This time?
