ON A WINTER’S DAY
Isn’t California Dreamin’ the most gorgeous antidote to a cold, wet winter day? The brilliant Mamas and Papas and this wonderful song of saudade and spiritual discontent, all buoyed up by the sweetest harmonies. I love this song.
May there be happiness in the world this coming year and may good things come your way. Have a wonderful new year. Love Susie. x

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 into a church
I passed along the way
Well, I got down on my knees
And I pretend to pray
You know the preacher like 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
On such a winter's day
On such a winter's day
