California Dreamin'
Mamas & Papas

 
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 L.A.
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
