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?
This time we almost made it to the moon, didn't we?
This time we almost made our poem rhyme
And this time we almost made that long hard climb
Didn't we almost make it this time?
