The story behind the song

This song, primarily composed by John Lennon, was inspired by a tune his mother used to sing to him as a child from Walt Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. It captures the innocent charm of sharing a whispered secret, much like the opening lines of the Disney song that inspired it. Written specifically for George Harrison to sing, the lyrics convey a tender, almost childlike declaration of affection. Playing this song feels like sharing a cherished, intimate confidence with someone special.
