All the leaves are brown, and the sky is grey

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

Oh, I got down on my knees, and I pretend to pray

You know the preacher likes the cold, he knows I'm going to stay

California dreamin', on such a winter's day

All the leaves are brown, and the sky is grey

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
