Bobby Womack - California Dreamin' Lyrics






All the leaves are brown
And the sky is gray
I went for a walk
On a winters day
I'd be safe and warm
If I was in LA
California dreamin
On such a winters day

Went through the church, just me
I stopped along the way
When I got down on my bended knee
And I began to pray
You know the preacher digs a call
Cos he knows I'm gunna stay
Hes knows I'm gunna stay, I told him so
California dreamin

Oh, somebody hit me know
I wanna go so bad, yeah

Cos all the leaves are brown
And the skies are gray, yeah
I went for a walk
On a winter's day, oooohhhhhhh
Id be safe and warm
If I was in LA
California dreamin
On such a winter's day
Such a winter's day
On such a winter's day, yeah, yeah, woahhh

California dreamin
California dreamin
Gotta, gotta, gotta get some sunshine
Cant believe I blew my mind
Gotta get some sunshine
California dremaing
California dremaing
Ohhh, gotta get some
California dreamin, ohhhhhh
California dreamin
Gotta get to LA
Get some sunshine every day
California dreamin
Ohh...........

  2. H.... P....

    BOBBY'S VERSION IS MOODY GOOD!!! LUV! LUV! LUV! IT !!!!!

  3. j.... S....

    Just got a new found respect for Mr. Womack... The original version by the Mommas & Poppas is untouchable... But there's a certain element of soul. That Bobby conveyed very well. Good job Bobby.

  4. h.... ....

    A Wonderful execution of this great tune.

  5. T.... W....

    Classic......😎

  6. M.... M....

    Need to head West to my birthplace... .

  7. P.... M....

    What's crazy is they mentioned Muscle Shoals sound on XM right before playing this. This doesn't sound like them and from what I read this recording was probably in Memphis at Chip Moman's studio. I still find this to be an incredible version.

  8. C.... F....

    Beautiful ! Quelle voix fantastique !

  9. G.... H....

    Top version, restrained voice with power.

  30. R.... B....

    Womack is one of the Master soul

  31. M.... B....

    This version almost made the top 40 in 1968. Too bad it didn't as it has such a great melody and Bobby does it so well. His band does it great too. Found a 45 recently.

  32. d.... w....

    Watching Once Apon a time in Hollywood and a version of this song was played
    . I just had to come back to the BEST VERSION I KNOW.

  40. D.... G....

    Nobody fucking cares what "brought you here"!

  41. T.... ....

    This Recall the Jose Feliciano arrangments recorded one year before.

    T.... ....

    Without that first arrangment from Feliciano probably we never heard this nice version from Bobby Womack. The same was for Light My Fire for other next cover sung by other artists after Jose.
