[Chorus 1: Barry McQuire, The Mamas & The Papas]
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

[Verse: Barry McQuire, The Mamas & The Papas]
Stopped in to a church (Stopped in to a church)
Passed along the way (Passed along the way)
Got down on my knees (Got down on my knees)
And pretend to pray (I pretend to pray)
You know the preacher liked it 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

[Harmonica Solo]

[Chorus 2: Barry McQuire, The Mamas & The Papas]
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
