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 LA
California dreamin' on such a winter's day

Stopped in to 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 now
He knows I'm gonna stay
California dreamin' on such a winter's day
(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

California dreamin', dream on
California dreamin', dream on
California dreamin', dream on
