All the leaves are brown
(All the leaves are brown)
And the sky is grey
(And the sky is grey)
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.)
California dreamin
(California dreamin)
On such a winter's day

Stopped into 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 corps
(Preacher likes the corps)

He knows I'm gonna stay
Knows I'm gonna stay
California dreamin
(California dreamin)
On such a winter's day

{musical pause}

All the leaves are brown
(All the leaves are brown)
And the sky is grey
(And the sky is grey)
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)
California dreamin
(California dreamin)
On such a winter's
California dreamin
On such a winter's
California dreamin
On such a winter's day
