No One Will Ever Know
--------------------------------
No one will ever know my heart is breaking
Although a million teardrops start to flow
I'll cry myself to sleep and wake up smiling
I'll miss you but no one will ever know
I'll tell them we grew tired of each other
And realized our dreams could never be
I'll even make believe I never loved you
Then no one will ever know the truth but me
No one will ever know how much I'm pining
Each time the past comes back to haunt me so
No one will ever see the tears I'm hiding
You've hurt me but no one will ever know
I'll tell then I found true love with another
That I was glad the day you set me free
I'll even make believe I never loved you
Then no one will ever know the truth but me.

In the early 60s, Hankins made further recordings for Columbia Records and a gospel album for Rem.

No one will ever know my heart is breaking
Although a million teardrops start to flow
I'll cry myself to sleep and wake up smiling
I'll miss you but no one will ever know
I'll tell them we grew tired of each other
And realized our dreams could never be
I'll even make believe I never loved you
Then no one will ever know the truth but me
No one will ever know how much I'm pining
Each time the past comes back to haunt me so
No one will ever see the tears I'm hiding
You've hurt me but no one will ever know
I'll tell then I found true love with another
That I was glad the day you set me free
I'll even make believe I never loved you
Then no one will ever know the truth but me.

* Al Martino -Alfred Cini, conocido como Al Martino, (Filadelfia, Pensilvania, 7 de octubre de 1927 - 13 de octubre de 2009) fue un cantante y actor italoamericano.
En el portal Allmusic, el crítico musical Steve Huey escribe: "Martino fue uno de los grandes crooners del pop italiano de América, con una cadena de éxitos en sencillos y álbumes que van desde principios de la década de 1950 a mediados de la década de 1970. Sin embargo, es probablemente más conocido por su papel en la película El Padrino como el cantante Johnny Fontane, un misterioso personaje, supuestamente basado en la carrera musical de Frank Sinatra, pero con similitudes a la propia carrera de Martino".

Entre su debut en el mundo de la música en 1945 y 1954, Eddie logró 58 top ten consecutivos, y nunca marcó menos de un top 40 durante sus 21 anos de carrera, con más de 140 discos diferentes de los cuales se vendieron más de 85 millones de copias, incluidos eternos clásicos como Bouquet de Rosas o Anytime. Recibió el apodo de Tennessee Plowboy (el chico del arado de Tennessee en inglés), y firmó contratos con las companías discográficas RCA Records y MGM Records.
* Ferlin Husky -Ferlin Eugene Husky (December 3, 1925 — March 17, 2011) was an early American country music singer who was equally adept at the genres of traditional honky-tonk, ballads, spoken recitations, and rockabilly pop tunes. He had two dozen Top 20 hits in the Billboard country charts between 1953 and 1975; his versatility and matinee-idol looks propelling a seven-decade entertainment career.
In the 1950s and 1960s, Husky's hits included "Gone" and "Wings of a Dove", each reaching No. 1 on the country charts. He also created a comic outspoken hayseed character, Simon Crum; and recorded under the stage name Terry Preston from 1948 to 1953.
In 2010, Husky was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame.
