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 L.A.
California dreaming
On such a winter's day
Stopped into a church,
I passed along the way
Well, I got down on my knees,
And I pretend to pray
You know the preacher likes the cold
He knows I'm gonna stay
California dreaming
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 dreaming
On such a winter's day
