This is a light-hearted love song, and the idea came to me one day when I was noticing the beauty in my lovely wife's face during a tender moment between us - her love for me looked very good on her!

The hook to this song came to me, as so many do, in a conversation.  I pictured a person who was using the euphoria of love as an escape and a sanctuary from a world that was falling apart around him.  What happens when the bubble bursts?  Thanks so much to Jeff Trippe for setting my lyrics to such a great melody and harmony arrangement!

This is a song that I wrote long ago for my family, under the title "Big Blue Diesel", and that I re-wrote in 2011. It's about the wonderful Christmas village and train layout that my Dad would always create for us when we were very young.  He was a master at this, and it became family legend.  That village was always so comforting, and it seemed like the perfect little world, where I could feel safe and secure.   My dad is no longer with us, but the memories of his Christmas creation lives on in the family.
