Brain Epstein managed other groups besides the Beatles, including Billy J. Kramer and the Dakotas. Both John and Paul wrote songs that they gave to Brian's other acts to record. I agree that this is a very sweet song, but you need to understand that when it was written, John did not feel that such songs were right for his image. Too tender and sentimental for a macho rocker from Liverpool. That's why John wrote two songs that he gave George to sing: "Do You Want To Know A Secret" and "I'm Happy Just To Dance With You".
