 All the leaves are  brown
 and the  sky is grey
 I've been for  a walk
 on a  winter's day
 I'd be safe and  warm
 if I  was in L.A
 California  dreaming
 on such a  winter's day
 Stopped into a  church
 I passed a-  long the way
 Oh 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  dreaming
 on such a  winter's day
 -  -  -  -  -  2x
 All the leaves are  brown
 and the  sky is grey
 I've been for  a walk
 on a  winter's day
 If I didn't  tell her
 I could  leave today
 California  dreaming
 on such a  winter's day
 Cali-  fornia  dreaming  on such a  winter's day
 Cali-  fornia  dreaming  on such a winter's  day //
