All the leaves are brown
And the sky is grey
I've been for a walk
On a winter's day

I'd feel safe and warm
If I was in L.A.

[Chorus:]
California dreamin'
On such a winter's day

Stopped into a church
I passed along the way
I got down on my knees
And I pretend to pray

You know the preacher
Likes the cold
He knows I'm gonna stay

[Chorus:]
California dreamin'
On such a winter's day

All the leaves are brown
And the sky is grey
If I didn't tell her
I could leave today
