queen latifah - california dreamin' lyrics

[inspired by jose feliciano's 1968 cover of the mamas and the papas hit of 1966]

all the leaves are brown and the sky is gray.
i've been 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.

stopped in to a church i passed along the way.
well i got down on my knees and i pretend to pray.
you know the preacher liked the cold;
he knows i'm gonna stay.
california dreamin' on such a winter's day.

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 dreamin' on such a winter's day.
california dreamin' on such a winter's day.
california dreamin' on such a winter's day.
