California Dreaming – California Dreaming lyrics
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 winters 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 began to pray ( I began to pray)

You know the preacher like the cold ( preacher like the cold)
He knows I'm gonna stay ( knows I'm gonna stay)
California dreamin' ( California dreamin')
On such a winter's day

instrumental

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 winters 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 day
California dreamin'
On such a winter's day
California dreamin'
On such a winter's day

    The original belongs to The Mamas And Papas.
    The group had moved from L. A. To New York in hopes of bettering their careers, but fell on hard times, financially and personally.
    This song is about John's feelings on one of those many times they discussed going "home", and knew they couldn't. At least, not right away.
    A short six months later, California Dreaming became one of the most successful of the pop-folk songs of the 60's.
