Throughout their careers, John and Paul would of course sing their own songs. Before George began to write, and in order to give George and Ringo original songs to sing, they began writing for them. This is one of those songs. Upon The Beatles return from their thirteen-week engagement in Hamburg, and about the same time that Paul broke up with Dot, Cynthia discovered that she was pregnant. To do the traditional thing, she and John Lennon were married on August 23, 1962. Written by Lennon, the theme of this song is to Cynthia, wby John realized that he did truly love Cynthia - this being the secret. But, the musical inspiration for the song came from the Walt Disney 1937 film, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. In one of the scenes, Snow White is singing to the doves, saying, "Wanna know a secret? Promise not to tell? We are standing by a wishing well." Although written from John to Cynthia, Lennon decided to give it to George to sing because as Lennon said, "it only had three notes and he wasn't the best singer in the world. " This song was also offered to and recorded by Billy J. Kramer and his group "the Dakotas." His version went on to become a Number 2 hit in the UK, and was the first time a Beatles' song by another artist had made the Hit Parade.
