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
