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 held 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?
This time we almost made it to the moon, didn't we?
This time, we almost made (almost made) our poem rhyme

And this time we almost made that long hard climb

Didn't we almost make it this time... this time?

(Same song of Jimmy Webb)
