"Dear One" is the second track on George Harrison's 1976 album, Thirty Three & 1/3.[1]

History

Harrison wrote the lyrics in 1976 during a vacation to the Virgin Islands, shortly before starting work on Thirty Three & 1/3.[1] In his autobiography, I Me Mine, Harrison says that he believes the song is the only one he ever wrote with an A tuning.[1] The lyrics are directed to Premavatar Paramahansa Yogananda[2] , author of Autobiography of a Yogi, who Harrison called "a great influence on my life."[1]
