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
Well, I got down on my knees and I began to pray
You know the preacher likes the cold
He knows, I'm gonna stay
California dreamin' on such a winter's day

All the elaves are brown and the sky is gray
I've just been for a walk on a winter's day
If I didn't tell him, I could leave today
Oh, California dreamin' on such a winter's day

A cold, cold winter's day
On such a winter's day
