california dreamin'

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 into a church

i passed along the way

well

i got down on my knees

and i pretend to pray

you know the preacher light the coal

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

on such a winter's day

on such a winter's day
