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 (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]
Stopped in to a church
I passed along the way
Well I got down on my knees
(got down on my knees)
And I pretend to pray (I pretend to pray)
You know the preacher likes the cold
(preacher likes the cold)
He knows I m gonna stay (knows I m gonna stay)
[Chorus]
California dreamin
(California dreamin )
On such a winter s day
[Flute solo]
[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 (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)
[Coda]
California dreamin
(California dreamin )
On such a winter s day
California dreamin
(California dreamin )
On such a winter s day
