Lyrics:
All the leaves are brown (all the leaves are brown)
And the sky is grey (and the sky is grey)
I've been for a walk (I've been for a walk)
On a winter's day (on a winter's day)
I'd be safe and warm (I'd be safe and warm)
If I was in L.A. (if I was in L.A.)
California dreamin' (California dreamin')
On such a winter's day
Stopped into a church
I passed along the way
Well, I got down on my knees (got down on my knees)
And I pretend to pray (I pretend to pray)
You know the preacher like the cold (preacher like the cold)
He knows I'm gonna stay (knows I'm gonna stay)
California dreamin' (California dreamin')
On such a winter's day
All the leaves are brown (all the leaves are brown)
And the sky is grey (and the sky is grey)
I've been for a walk (I've been 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)
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

    This song makes me feel so weird, sad, nostalgic and happy at the same time, it’s confusing but I love it
  • @ste9281
    I got the Mamas in my left ear and the Papas in my right ear
  • This song is the personification of the 1960's! What a great sound... nostalgic tears falling 😢
  • @garybarr1045
    This song came out when I was in Vietnam. I came home to California wounded and disabled for life. But when I hear this wonderful song, I forget all the pain and hear only the beautiful music and California Dreamin'. It still makes me dream. Thanks forever, my friends. 😎

    They have such a haunting, melancholy, but strangely comforting sound. My brain doesn't know what to do with this, but I like it.
  • @huzefaimran
    I haven't even visited America but this song somehow makes me feel nostalgic about a place I'm not even from.

    間奏の「ケーナの音」が、何とも言えぬ哀愁,郷愁を感じさせる❗ いつきいても素晴らしい名曲🎉❤

    The intensity in the lines, “Well I got down on my knees,” is amazing and makes me love this song more and more every time I hear it
  • @AllenLee11
    Music like this will hopefully live on forever!
  • 🔥🔥🔥👍👍👍Какие же они добрые , милые и приятные. Может , потому и песня получилась вечная. Это юность наших родителей.😁😁
  • This triggers a weird kind of nostalgia in me... nostalgia for a live i haven't lived.
