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 L.A.   California dreamin' on such a winter's day      Stopped in to a church I passed along the way   Oh, I got down on my knees and I pretend to pray   You know the preacher likes the cold now   He knows I'm gonna stay   California dreamin' on such a winter's day   (California dreamin' on such a winter's day)      All the leaves are brown and the sky is gray   I've been for a walk on a winter's day   If I didn't tell her I could leave today   California dreamin' on such a winter's day      California dreamin', dream on   California dreamin', dream on   California dreamin', dream on
