All the leaves are brown and the sky is gray   I've been for a walk on a winter's day   I'd be safe and warm if I was in LA   California dreamin' on such a winter's day      Stopped in to a church, I passed along the way   Well, I got down on my knees and I began to pray   You know the preacher likes the cold   He knows, I'm gonna stay   California dreamin' on such a winter's day      All the leaves are brown and the sky is gray   I've just been for a walk on a winter's day   If I didn't tell him, I could leave today   Oh, California dreamin' on such a winter's day      A cold, cold winter's day   On such a winter's day
