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 held the answer right here in my hand.
And I touched it,
And it had turned to sand.

This time we almost sang our song in tune.
Well, didn't we, girl?
This time we almost made it up to the moon,
Oh, didn't we, girl?

And this time we almost made that lo-o-ng climb.
Didn't we almost make it, this time?

This time we almost sang our song in tune.
Well, didn't we, girl?
This time we almost made it right up to the moon.
Well, didn't we, girl?
And this time we almost made our poem rhyme.
And this time we almost made that lo-o-ng climb.
Didn't we almost make it, this time?

Didn't we, girl?
