California Dreamin' (1965) - The Mamas/Papas
Lyrics by:John Phillips/Michelle Phillips
Composed by:John Phillips/Michelle Phillips
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 LA
If I was in LA
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
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
