about

Masks are unfortunately necessary in our COVID era, so how do you tell a lover they need to cover up? This quarantine love song evokes the smooth Philadelphia soul ballads of the Gamble and Huff era by making this heartfelt plea: masks are sexy, veils are romantic and nobody wants to die. “Cover up baby, to uncover your grace.” Written by Brian Lohmann and performed by Lohmann and Ballinger. John Ballinger on production, all instruments and backup vocals. Brian Lohmann, lead and background vocals.

lyrics

I Can See Too Much of Your Face

Hold something back
Let mystery thrive
What could be better
Than being alive?
Since being alive’s pretty great
I don’t think I’m off base
When I say I can see-ee-ee-ee-ee oo-oo, too much of your face.

Some say a mask
Is so sexy to wear
Hide your nose and your mouth
Leave the rest of you bare
Your mask is the one thing
I don’t wanna unlace
‘Cause I don’t wanna see-ee-ee-ee-ee oo-oo, too much of your face

Keep a little back, hold a little back (please)
Keep me guessing
I don’t wanna know everywhere to go
Flowers under snow
Are a blessing

Turn away slightly to give your embrace
Your moon made of rubies should stay in its case
You know I adore your skin
But better to imagine
What I see-ee-ee------
When you free-ee-ee-------
Too much of that space on your face.

They wear a veil
All over the world
Each bride keeps a secret
Curtain unfurled
Let’s not be statistics
In a medical case
Please agree I can see-ee-ee-ee-ee-oo-oo, too much of your face.

I can see too much of your face
I can see too much of your face
So cover up, baby
To uncover your grace
I can see-ee-ee
He can see-ee-ee
Too much of your face
And I’m sad it’s the case
But we can’t win this race
If that bits not in place
It’s the price that we pay
To make sure that we stay
Loving love one more day

Keep a little back, hold a little back (repeat under)

Keep me curious, baby
Stay mysterious, baby.
