California Dreaming

ARTIST: The Mamas and the Papas
TITLE: California Dreaming

All the leaves are brown ~ All the leaves are brown
And the sky is gray ~ And the sky is gray
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 dreaming ~ California dreaming
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 likes the cold ~ Preacher likes the cold
He knows I'm gonna stay ~ Knows I'm gonna stay
California dreaming ~ California dreaming
On such a winter's day

All the leaves are brown ~ All the leaves are brown
And the sky is gray ~ And the sky is gray
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 dreaming ~ California dreaming
On such a winter's day ~ California dreaming
On such a winter's day ~ California dreaming
On such a winter's day


*I first heard the song on Chungking Express.Tony Leung's police constable character was ditched by his Air stewardess girlfriend.Oddly the shock either took out his brains or he was forgetful by nature (Actually he was too absorbed over his break-up).An odd admirer/trespasser of Faye Wong's character,took his keys to his apartment.She swop his stuffs,change the decorations and clear the mess.California Dreaming was what he thought was his/his ex's favourite song that was left in the cd player by Faye Wong.I love this film.It's strange and nice at the same time.A comedy that doesn't really draw a barrel of laughs.
