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?
