All the leaves are brown and the sky is gray
I went for a walk, on a winters day
I'd be safe and warm, if I was in LA
California dreamin', on such a winters day

Stopped into a church, I passed along the way
Well I got down on my knees (got down on my knees)
And I began to pray (and began to pray)
You know the the preacher likes the cold (preacher likes the cold)
He knows that I'm gonna stay (knows I'm gonna stay)
Ooh now, california dreamin' (California dreamin')
On such a winters day, oohh yeah

All the leaves are brown (all the leaves are brown)
And the sky is grey (and the sky is grey)
I went for a walk (I went for a walk)
On a winters day (on a winters day)

Ooh, if I didn't tell her, I could leave today
Oh now, california dreamin' (I thought you went away)
Oh now, california dreamin' (on such a winters day)
Oh now, california dreamin' (California dreamin')
On such a winters day

Ooh now, california dreamin', ssuch a winter's day
Oh now, california dremin', California dreamin'
Thought the sky was grey, California dreamin' (such a winters day)
Oohh, california dreamin', California dreamin'
And the skies are grey and the skies are grey
