[Verse 1]
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 (I'd be safe and warm) if I was in LA (if I was in LA)
[Hook]
California dreamin' (California dreamin') on such a winter's day
[Verse 2]
Stopped into a church
I passed along the way
Well, I got down on my knees (I got down on my knees) and I begin to pray (I pretend to pray)
You know the preacher liked the cold (preacher liked the cold)
He knows I'm gonna stay
[Hook]
California dreamin' (California dreamin') on such a winter's day
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
All the leaves are brown (All the leaves are brown) and the sky is gray (and the sky is gray)
I've been for a walk (I've been for a walk) on a winter's day (on a winter's day)
I'd be safe and warm (I'd be safe and warm) if I was in LA (if I was in LA)
[Hook]
California dreamin' (California dreamin') on such a winter's day
