This time we almost made the pieces fit,
Ah, didn't we, girl?
This time we almost made some sense of it,
Ah, 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,-
Ah, didn't we, girl?
-This time we almost made it to the moon,-
-Ah, didn't we?-
This time, we almost made,
Our poem rhyme.
Ooooo.
Yes, and 

this time we almost made,
That long hard climb.

Didn't we almost make it?
Didn’t we almost take it, baby?
-Didn’t we almost make it this time?-
