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.
