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 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 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
