1. The song is credited to Lennon McCartney

but it's mostly by McCartney. Supposedly judged "too soft" to be a Beatles release, but became a hit regardless.

2. This goes way back, but wasn't Peter the brother of McCartney's then girlfriend

Jane Asher?

3. Yes.

And McCartney lived at the Asher's for quite a while, sharing a room with Peter.

4. There is an audio of McCartney singing it for Peter Asher so he knew how it went.
