All the leaves are brown
And the sky is grey
I went for a walk
On a winter's day

I'd be safe and warm
If I was in L.A
California dreaming
On such a winter's day

Stopped into a church
I passed along the way
Well, I got down on my knees
And I began to pray

You know the preacher digs the cold
He knows I'm going to stay
California dreaming
On such a winter's day

All the leaves are brown
And the sky is grey
I went for a walk
On a winter's day

If I didn't tell him
I could leave today
California dreaming
On such a winter's day
On such a winter's day
On such a winter's day
