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 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 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
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 day (California dreamin’)
On such a winter’s day (California dreamin’)
On such a winter’s day

    Never tell a pack that I never stay runnin'

  15. the one reason i wouldnt like to live in this era is because of the hair, it was never a good look and i wouldnt want to live in a time where they would trick me into thinking it is

  21. Glad that from the comments it sounds like I'm not the only one getting overwhelming nostalgia from a time I didn't live in and feel both sad and happiness because of this song lol

  22. I feel such nostalgia for this song, but I didn't even hear it in my youth or anything like that. I was born in the 2000s and this song is just a master piece

  23. What if California isn't about the place? All the leaves are brown and the sky is gray might mean that it's a sad time. That's what it means to me at least. I'm nostalgic for the good days.
