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 her 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.
