Question
Hey Bong, I would like to ask also for the MP3 file and lyrics of the song Secret Smiles by William Katt. Was it  a hit also during those times? Thanks a lot, bro!

Answer
Dear Ronald,

Yeah, SECRET SMILES was a big mellow hit back in 1983. But not a big hit anywhere in the world. Just here in Manila. Included here are the lyrics. As for the song, can you e-mail me at bong_santos_jbl11@yahoo.com. I may already have your e-mail address but I can't memorize which Ronald you are. It's for easier and trouble-free sending. Send an e-mail and state the song you are requesting.

A bit of trivia: WILLIAM "BILLY" KATT is the actor who played the title role in the 80's show THE GREATEST AMERICAN HERO from 1981 till its cancellation in 1983 whose theme BELIEVE IT OR NOT was sung by JOEY SCARBURY. It's ironic that KATT who knows how to sing wasn't picked to sing its theme. Anyway, SECRET SMILES came from BILLY's lone 1982 album also called SECRET SMILES. Here's its lyrics:

SECRET SMILES / BILLY KATT

Nobody knew it but you and I
all the love that ran through it
in the wink of an eye
hidden by the years we go
and pass it off as friends
but every time we meet
you know it comes right back again

Secret smiles for secret friends
the untold lovers that you meet again
hold me with your eyes
and let me know you once again
open up the years
and let those memories back in

No one will know (no one will know)
no one can tell
what secret lovers know so well

It's good to see you once again
it's nice to know
our secret love will never end
hidden by the years we go
and pass it off as friends
but every time we meet
that feeling rushes back again

No one will know (no one will know)
no one can tell
what secret lovers know so well

No one will know (no one will know)
no one can tell
what secret lovers know so well.

Maraming salamat po!!
