All the leaves are brown, and the sky is grey I'd dance for a while 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 Stopped into a church, I passed along the way Well I got down on my knees, and I pretend to pray You know the preacher liked the cold, he knows I'm gonna stay California dreamin' on such a winter's day All the leaves are brown, and the sky is grey I'd dance for a while on a winter's day If I didn't tell her, I could leave today California dreamin' on such a winter's day
