This song started out, according to John, as a song that his mother used to sing to him, based on the Disney film, Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs. In one of the opening scenes of the film, Snow White is wokring as a kitchen maid, and, as she stands by the castle well, she begins to sing to the doves "Wanna know a secret? Promise not to tell? We are standing by a wishing well." (I'm Wishing, by Money/Churchill.)
A demo of this track was made by John in the bathroom with an acoustic guitar (it's obvious that it's a bathroom - a few hundred bucks says nobody knows why).
Although the song was written by John with his own voice in mind, the song was offered to George. According to John, "I thought this was the perfect vehicle for George's voice, as it only had three notes in it, and George wasn't the world's greatest singer."
