Didn't We? Lyrics - Perry Como

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
