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 now I passed along the way
Oh, I got down on my knees and I pretend to pray
You know the preacher likes the cold now, he knows I'm gonna stay
California dreamin' on such a winter's day
(California dreamin', such a winter's day)

All the leaves, all the leaves are brown now, 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', dream on
California dreamin', dream on
California dreamin', dream on
