Notes:

This one was written by Paul in Hamburg in 1961 to his then girlfriend Dot Rhone. In April 1961, the group which consisted of John, Paul, George, Pete Best and Stuart Sutcliffe, had begun a thirteen-week appearance at the Top Ten Club in Hamburg, Germany. At the time, Paul was dating Dot, and John was dating his wife-to- be, Cynthia Powell. Dot and Cynthia had become friends, and decided to visit the boys in Hamburg. While there, Cynthia stayed with Astrid Kirchner, Sutcliffe's girlfriend, and Dot stayed with Paul on a houseboat. When the girls returned to Liverpool, Paul wrote this song for Dot, whereby he declared his love for her, and telling her he'd be home soon. However, when he returned home to Liverpool, Paul visited Dot who was sharing a residence with Cynthia. It would be on this visit that Paul broke up with Dot, telling her he was too young to be in a committed relationship. Dot was quite heartbroken, especially after Paul having written this song only weeks earlier. The Beatles recorded this number on September 11, 1962.
