The Mamas & The Papas - California Dreamin' (1965)

 

California Dreaming      

Mamas & The Papas      Lyrics

All the leaves are brown

and the sky is grey

I've been for a walk on

 a winters day

I'd be save and warm

 if I was in LA

california dreaming

 on such a winters day

Stepped into a church

 I passed along the way

well, I got down on my knees

andI pretended to pray

you know the preacher likes the cold

he knows I'm gonna stay
California dreaming

on such a winters day

                        Instrumental   (.........)

All the leaves a brown

and the sky is grey

I've been for a walk on

a winters day
If I didn't tell her

I could leave today
California dreaming

on such a winters day
