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 dreaming [California dreaming]
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
I'd be safe and warm
If I was in L.A.

Stopped into a church
I passed along the way
Well, I got down on my knees [Got down on my knees]
And I pretend'd to pray [I pretend'd to pray]
You know the preacher likes the cold [Preacher likes the cold]
He knows I'm gonna stay [Knows I'm gonna stay]

California dreaming [California dreaming]
On such a winter's day...

All the leaves are brown [All the leaves are brown]
And the sky is grey [And the sky is grey]
I've been for a walk [I've been for a walk]
On a winter's day [On a winter's day]
If I didn't tell her [If I didn't tell her]
I could leave today [I could leave today]

California dreaming [California dreaming]
On such a winter's day...
California dreaming
On such a winter's day...
California dreaming
On such a winter's day...
