california dreamin'

all the leaves are brown

and the sky is grey

i went 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

i stopped into a church

i passed along the way

you know

i got down on my knees

and i pretend to pray

oh

the preacher likes the cold

he knows i'm gonna stay

oh

california dreamin'

on such a winter's day

all the leaves are brown

and the sky is grey

i went for a walk

on a winter's day

if i didn't tell her

i could leave today

oh

california dreamin'

on such a winter's day

on such a winter's day

on such a winter's day

on such a winter's day
