California Dreamin'
(The Mamas & The Papas, 1965)
(US #4 UK#23,
1965; re-charted UK#9, 1997)
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 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
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
