All the leaves are brown And the sky is gray I've been for a walk On a winter's day I'd be safe and warm If I was in LA California dreamin On such a winter's day Stopped in to a church I passed along the way Well I got down on my knees And I pretend to pray You know the preacher likes 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 gray I've been for a walk On a winter's day If I didn't tell her I could leave today California dreamin' On such a winter's day
