[Verse 1]
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
I'd be safe and warm (I’d be safe and warm)
If I was in L.A. (If I was in L.A.)

[Chorus]
California dreamin' (California dreamin')
On such a winter's day

[Verse 2]
I stopped into a church (Stopped into a church)
I passed along the way (I passed along the way)
Well, I got down on my knees (Got down on my knees)
And I pretend to pray
You know the preacher like the cold (Preacher like the cold)
He knows I'm gonna stay (Knows I'm gonna stay)

[Chorus]
California dreamin' (California dreamin')
On such a winter’s day

[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
If I didn't tell her (If I didn't tell her)
I could leave today (I could leave today)
[Chorus]
California dreamin' (California dreamin’)
On such a winter's day
California dreamin' (California dreamin')
On such a winter's day

[Outro]
California dreamin' (California dreamin')
On such a winter's day
