California Dreamin'

All the leaves are brown
And the sky is grey
I was takin' a little walk
On a winter's day
I'd be safe and warm
If I was in L.A.
I'm California dreamin'
On such a winter's day
I stopped into a church
I passed along the way
And I got down on my knees
And I pretended to pray
You know the preacher like the cold
He knows we're gonna stay
I'm California dreamin'
On such a winter's day
I'd be safe and warm
If I was in L.A.
I'm California dreamin'
On such a winter's day
All the leaves are brown
All the leaves are brown
And the sky is grey
I went out takin' a little walk
On a winter's day
I'd be safe and warm
If I was in L.A.
I'm California dreamin'
On such a winter's day
On such a winter's day
On such a winter's day
