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 dreamin' 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 I'd be safe and warm if I was in L.A California dreamin' on such a winter's day I stopped into a church I passed along the way Well I got down on my knees and I pretended to pray You know the preacher liked the cold, he knows I'm gonna stay California dreamin' on such a winter's day I'd be safe and warm I'd be safe and warm I'd be safe and warm I'd be safe and warm 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 go, I could leave today California dreamin' on such a winter's day Oh such a winter's day On such a winter's day
