California Dreamin'

Written by john and michelle phillips, © 1966

Found on america in concert (95), heard, and highway.



All the leaves are brown

And the sky is grey

I went 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



I stopped into a church (stopped into a church)

I passed along the way (passed along the way)

You know, i got down on my knees (got down on my knees)

And i pretend to pray (i pretend to pray)

Oh, the preacher likes the cold (preacher likes the cold)

He knows i'm gonna stay (knows i'm gonna stay)

Oh, california dreamin' (california dreamin')

On such a winter's day



All the leaves are brown (the leaves are brown)

And the sky is grey (and the sky is grey)

I went for a walk (i went 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)



Oh, 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 (california dreamin')

On such a winter's day
