"Just wanta dance with you"

Copyr. 1994
Johnny Blood Music Company

I was feelin kinda down,

I was feelin kinda blue,

Then I saw your pretty face,

and I wanta dance with you.

There were other pretty girls,

might have asked one or two,

but there wasn't any point to,

cause I wanta dance with you.

(chorus)- Then I took you by the hand,

Held you close, it felt so fine.

Feel the rythem of the band,

I just gotta make you mine.

I just wanta dance with you,

Your what I've been lookin for

let's just stay here on the dance floor

till they lock and bolt the door

Then I said my name is John,

and you said your name is Sue,

think you might give me your number

it was right and we both knew.

Somethin special comin down,

wasn't long and we both knew.

couldn't help myself I kissed you

I just gotta dance with you.

(chorus)

(extra verse)

Asked a friend of yours about you,

She said she knew you'ld like to dance

I wasn't waiting any longer

I just gotta take a chance.

Who Put Out The Flame

Song #22

So many things are incorporated in a song. This one was written from the heart. It covers things that I have experienced and learned from. I'm sure many of you can relate.

Just a pretty melody and powerful lyrics.

"Who Put Out The Flame"

words and music by John Blodgett

Have I done something wrong you're not telling me of,

Is it something I've said that's cost me your love,

You don't hear the words I say, you're a million miles away

And I wonder who's put out the flame

I wonder who's put out the flame,

The love that we shared is not the same,

I know something's wrong and I don't know who's to blame.

And I wonder who's put out the flame.

You still come home at night the way you've always done,

And you still smile and say that I'm your only one.

But, I can see by your eyes you've been telling me lies

alternate - (but the tears in your eyes late at night when you cry)

And I wonder who's put out the flame.

I wonder who's put out the flame,

The love that we shared is not the same,

I know something's wrong and I don't know who's to blame.

And I wonder who's put out the flame.

I know something's wrong and I don't know who's to blame.

And I wonder who's put out the flame.

Flame still glows

Song #21 for 2015

"While The Flame In Me Still Glows"

Song number 21, While the Flame still glows is not my best work. I could have used a real guitar picker to play this for me. It does make a statement though. Just want to keep on keepin on. One day at a time. I thank Jesus every morning for the new day. I am able to get up and get going and get the music out there. THESE SONGS ARE FOR SALE, just in case you didn't know.

My friend Claudia has a blog out there and was talking about her bucket list. http://claudssixtyfifthyear.blogspot.com/2015/06/do-you-have-bucket-list.html

This would be on my bucket list. I have been working to sell these songs for 50 years. I do believe in God's time, I think it just has to be seen and heard by the right person.

"While the Flame still Glows"

words and music

John Blodgett

JBM Co.

I can't stand it anymore

pack me up, I'm out the door.

Before I get too old

before the fire in me grows cold

I'll hit the road to were it goes

While the flame in me still glows.

So many things I wanna see

A lot of want to left in me

Too many dreams I can't let go

While the flame in me still glows.

Some folks say my screws are loose,

ain't got the brains God gave a goose.

well you just keep your status quo

If I don't try, I'll never know

Too many things I wanna see

A lot of want to left in me

Too many dreams I can't let go

While the flame in me still glows.

Too many things I wanna see

A lot of want to left in me

Too many dreams I can't let go

While the flame in me still glows.

So many things I wanna see

A lot of want to left in me

Too many dreams I can't let go

While the flame in me still glows.

A Vagabond Heart.WMV

Song Number 20.

                                       "VAGABOND HEART"

                 ©1994 John Blodgett

                    Johnny Blodgett Composer

Beautiful lady, your eyes are enchanting,

It would be easy to fall for your charms,

and dear, I know if I let myself falter,

I'd lose my heart in the warmth of your arms.

                          (Chorus)

Don't fall in love with a vagabond heart,

I'm just a gypsy - you knew from the start.

Don't love me today for tomorrow we'll part.

Don't fall in love with a vagabond heart.

You know your eyes don't conceal what you're feeling,

Your heart is looking to me for romance,

and yes it's true, I do find you appealing,

but this is something that hasn't a chance.

                          (Chorus)

Listen to all that I'm saying,

There's a gypsy in me that won't die.

There's no way dear that I can be staying.

To say you love me, is saying goodbye.

                         (Chorus)

Trying to pitch some songs down on music row in the early 90s. Had a few optimistic interviews but nothing ever came of it. That whole scene has changed a lot from then to now. I wouldn't know where to begin. Oh well, I thought I did but this ain't working either. But I know there are a few friends out there who want to hear these songs, so I will continue to put them up here.
I wrote this for a lady who I thought had agreed that we could just be friends and no more. Guess you can't hardly get them no more.
