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 dreamin’
On such a winter’s day

I stopped into a church (stopped into a church)
I passed along the way (passed along the way)
You know, I got down on my knees (got down on my knees)
And I pretend to pray (I pretend to pray)
Oh, the preacher likes the cold (preacher likes the cold)
He knows I’m gonna stay (knows I’m gonna stay)
Oh, California dreamin’ (California dreamin’)
On such a winter’s day

All the leaves are brown (the leaves are brown)
And the sky is grey (and the sky is grey)
I went for a walk (I went for a walk)
On a winter’s day (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)

Oh, California dreamin’ (California dreamin’)
On such a winter’s day (California dreamin’)
On such a winter’s day (California dreamin’)
On such a winter’s day (California dreamin’)
On such a winter’s day

Heaven may be an answer
If you’re lookin’ for Eden in the sky
On your waters I see a strange reflection
Rumor has it I’ll see you when I die

Everyone I meet is from California
There’s dancin’ in the streets in California

In California you watch the shadow dancer
Floating gently, gently on the sea
In California you’re such a strange romancer
Come and see me when the world has set you free

Everyone I meet is from California
There’s dancin’ in the streets in California

Everyone I meet is from California
There’s dancin’ in the streets in California
