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.

Well I got down on my knees

and I pretend to pray.

You know the preacher liked 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 been for a walk

on a winter's day.

If I didn't tell him

I could leave today;

California dreamin'

on such a winter's day.

California dreamin'

on such a winter's day.

California dreamin'

on such a winter's day.
