All the leaves are brown and the sky is grey
I've been for a walk on a winters day
I'd be safe and warm if I was in L.A
California dreamin', on such a winters day

Stepped into a church I passed along the way
Well, I get down on my knees and I pretend to pray
You know the preacher likes the cold
He knows I'm gonna stay
California, California dreamin', on such a winters day

All the leaves are brown and the sky is grey
I've been for a walk on a winters day
If I didn't tell her I could leave today
California, California dreamin', on such a winters day

California dreamin', California dreamin', California dreamin'
