[similar]

Stopped into a church I passed along the way.

Well, I got down on my knees and I pretended to pray.

You know the preacher likes the cold,

He knows I'm gonna stay.

California dreaming on such a winter's day.

 

INSTRUMENTAL VERSE:

 

All the leaves are brown and the sky is gray.

I've been for a walk on a winter's day.

If I didn't tell her, I could leave today.

California dreaming, on such a winter's day.

California dreaming, on such a winter's day.

California dreaming, on such a winter's day.
