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, then I touched it and it had turned to sand! This time we almost sang our songs in tune, didn't we girl? This time we almost made it to the moon, didn't we girl? This time we almost made our poem rhyme, this time we almost made that long, long climb didn't we almost make it, this time? . . . didn't we almost make it, this time? Words and Music by Jimmy Webb, 1969
