All the leaves are brown
(All the leaves are brown)
And the sky is gray.
(And the sky is gray).
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 in to 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 likes the cold.
(preacher likes the cold).
He knows I'm gonna stay.
(knows I'm gonna stay).
California dreamin'
(California dreamin') on such a winter's day.
(Bridge)
All the leaves are brown
(All the leaves are brown)
And the sky is gray.
(And the sky is gray).
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.

Review about California Dreamin' Why the adoration of this song? | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/29/09
Or for that matter, over 50% of the music and bands of this era that are still foisted upon us daily. This song has a secure place among my list of top ten all-time-most-annoying. Stupid lyrics, stupid, facile melody and chorus...it could have been written by a five year old. Why the blind, knee-jerk veneration of everything related to the 60's?

Song's About Winter. | Reviewer: Anonymous | 12/21/08
Without being 'too' specific about winter weather, in California, 'this' song appears to have the knack of expressing many feeling's about average, non-descript winter days, as they may often be in California; and (adding to the worldwide success of the song) successfully waxing lyrical with descriptions of average winters which 'could' depict winter in many more places around the USA., and very many other countries, as well!.
California Dreamin look over corrections | Reviewer: alexa | 11/26/07
I have noticed about this song that on the 3rd paragraph it says "I pre to pary." It really should be I pretend to pray. Great Job on doing so well with this though!
