1. I wasn't sure who wrote that. It has sort of a Meredith Wilson sound to it, like

"Till There Was You."

It's by Paul McCartney.

Composition

When asked about the lyrics, McCartney commented: "I wrote that in my front parlour in Forthlin Road. I was about 16. 'I'll Follow the Sun' was one of those very early ones. I seem to remember writing it just after I'd had the flu and I had that cigarette. I remember standing in the parlour, with my guitar, looking out through the lace curtains of the window, and writing that one."

Till There Was You was written in 1950.

2. On the first 'Meet the Beatles' US album the only song

Not written by Lennon and McCartney was Meredith Wilson's 'Till There Was You'.
You have a good ear!

3. I knew they had covered it. It's not one of their better efforts.

There were bells on the hill, But I never heard
them ringing, No, I never heard them at all
