California Dreamin’ Lyrics by Johnny Rivers

Changes

Phillips-Gilliam

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 dreamin' on such a winter's day

Stopped into a church I passed along the way
Well I got down on my kneesand I pretend to pray
You know the preacher lights the coals, he knows I'm gonna stay
California dreamin' on such a winter's day

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 dreamin' on such a winter's day
California dreamin' on such a winter's day
California dreamin' on such a winter's day
