I first recorded this song in 1970
It's by Jimmy Webb, and it asks oh
An age-old question
This time we almost made the pieces fit
Didn't we?
This time we almost made some sense of it
Ooh, didn't we?
This time I had the answer
Right here in my hand
Then I had touched it
And it had turned to sand
This time we almost sang our song in tune
Didn't we, love?
This time we almost made it, made it to the moon
Oh, didn't we, love?
This time we almost made a poem rhyme
This time we almost made that long hard climb
Didn't we almost make it?
Didn't we almost make it?
Didn't we almost make it
This time?
