Lyrics for California Dreamin'

All the leaves are brown And the sky is gray I went for a walk On a winter's day I'd be safe and warm If I was in LA California dreamin' On such a winter's day Went through the church, just me I stopped along the way When I got down on my bended knees And I began to pray You know, the preacher digs a call 'Cause he knows I'm gonna stay He knows I'm gonna stay, I told him so California dreamin' Oh, somebody hit me now I wanna go so bad, yeah 'Cause all the leaves are brown And the skies are gray, yeah I went for a walk On a winter's day, oh I'd be safe and warm If I was in LA California dreamin' On such a winter's day Such a winter's day On such a winter's day, yeah, yeah, woah California dreamin' California dreamin' Gotta, gotta, gotta get some sunshine Can't believe I blew my mind Gotta get some sunshine California dreamin' California dreamin' Oh, let's go there one day California dreamin', oh California dreamin' Gotta get to LA And I'ma doing the sunshine every day California dreamin'
