America - California Dreamin' Lyrics
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
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')
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

America California Dreamin' Comments
It is such a freat song practically nobody could ruin it. Love Beach Boys rendition best!
Not America's best moment.
I agree.
Love America’s version of this, can’t stop listening to it
Love it, BUT
I’ve BEEN for a walk
I PRETEND to pray
(First vocal answer: I began to PAY)
Jesus.
Put down the hash pipe, guys!
Great cover but Mamas & Papas still the best
I always grooved on America's version of this jam......still do!
Love this cover and love AMERICA
best song
The original is still the best, but this one is also up there, in my humble opinion The song reminds me of life, the coldness, the warmth, pretty much everything Great things are still to come you all Have a good one
Good things still to come, but not until the Lord gets here. But, keep looking up.
PRETEND to Pray!
Great cover!!!!!
Fantastic version! But I still like The Beach Boys version better with the haunting sax solo, The Mamas & The Papas on backing vocals and Roger McGuinn of The Byrds on acoustic 12 string guitar!
Great version by America. Thanks for posting!
I totally forgot about this version (36 years now) until this morning when I overheard it played on satellite radio station that a local hardware store has. R.I.P. Dan Peek (he had already left the group several years before) Its nice to see sources reviving these low charting songs and giving them new exposure.
This song is me about February 15th up here in Mass
The best version of this song by far
@Scott Sheppard Check out their live version of this...it rocks with great guitar work
Then you ain't heard the Beach Boys rendition.
Love this
