	Story Behind the Song The text is excerpted from a letter written by R.P. Feynman after the death of his wife, Arline. It was sealed in an envelope and locked away, not discovered until after his death. James Gleick's biography, GENIUS, contains the full text. Lyrics I find it hard to understand in my mind what it means to love you after you are dead--but I still want to comfort and take care of you--and I want you to love me and care for me. I want to have problems to discuss with you--I want to do little projects with you. I never thought until just now that we can do that together. What should we do. We started to learn to make clothes together--or learn Chinese-or getting a movie projector. Can't I do something now? No. I am alone without you and you were the "idea-woman" and general instigator of all our wild adventures.
