Queen Latifah - California Dreamin' Lyrics






All the leaves are brown and the sky is gray
Away for a walk on a winter's day
I'd be so safe and warm if I was in L.A.
California dreamin' on such a winter's day

I stopped into a church yes I did, that I passed along the way
And I got down on my knees down on my knees
And I pretended to pray, you know the preacher he likes it cold
'Coz he knows I'm gonna stay, as he knows I'm gonna stay
California dreamin' on such a winter's day, oh yeah

All the leaves are brown and the sky is gray
I've been for a walk on a cold winter's day, yeah
I'd be so safe and warm if I was in L.A
California dreamin' on such a winter's day

On such a winter's day, on such a winter's day
California, California dreamin', California dreamin'
Play that for me

I know it's just a dream, dream of California dreamin'

  16. H.... T....

    I've been a fan of her music from when she was still a teenager …. Today's artists need to follow her lead as she's been a class act for 30 years in the music industry where most today can't keep it together to even last for 15 minutes of fame.

  17. E.... S....

    All the leaves are brown and the sky is gray
    Away for a walk on a winter's day

    California dreamin' on such a winter's day, oh yeah

    All the leaves are brown and the sky is gray

  41. N.... S....

    She has always been talented, this isn't new to me. But some people are too worried about her sexual orientation, instead of acknowledging her plethora of talent.

Man Queen girl i hope you get down to Houston right now gotta go get that Cd travil light Shalom lady

  63. Y.... G....

    Got to be the best version of this song ive heard. Heavenly divine

  64. D.... ....

    Are you kidding me? I thought she was some hip hop hack drama queen. I never knew she had so much talent.

    D.... ....

    Only when she wants to be (hip hop hack drama queen), hopefully she leaves it in the past.

    D.... ....

    THATS WHY SHE CALLED HERSELF QUEEN SHE ALREADY KNEW WHAT YALL JUST FINDING OUT. THATS THE MARK OF TRUE ROYALTY INDEED

    D.... ....

    @Robin Holbrook many people (me included) have always been fully aware of Dana's plethora of talent, don't assume otherwise.

    D.... ....

    @Nubian Sioux I wasnt replying to your comment but to Davids . So if you knew already that's good . My comment is for those that dont know.

    D.... ....

    @Robin Holbrook my bad , gotcha.

  65. P.... T....

    The voice of an angel.

  66. A.... D....

    SUPERB!

  67. S.... N....

    Beautiful,Queen just beautiful!

  68. L.... D....

    I will always appreciate Queens talents she is amazing i l9ve The Dana Owens Album it continues to Move me deeply thank you Queen Owens

  69. T.... J....

    This is a beautiful cover version. She has such an excellent voice and loved her as Bessie Smith singing the Blues as well.
    ALSO another great singer with such a smooth soft voice was the late n great Cass Elliott whom sung this song with the original music pop group The Mama's and the Papa's

  70. E.... L....

    respect to the Queen, she keeps herself natural and unique 😊

  71. A.... D....

    A friend put me on to this cover. Not sure how I ever missed it but I am glad I found it. Hard song to cover because it's so iconic people have grand expectations. She nailed it.

  72. T.... ....

    Is great... but SURE he's heard and imitate that re-writing doin by the great JOSE FELICIANO in 1968...

  73. F.... F....

    Linda musica para uma lindissima voz

  74. m.... ....

    and no one mentions the guitar playing....

    m.... ....

    Its haughtily beautiful along with her voice

    m.... ....

    I was just literally thinking how perfect the guitarist was ;)

    m.... ....

    I would like to have Musicians and Background singers behind me like that , l can’t afford to pay them.

  75. I.... F....

    👑💗💗💗💗💗

  76. L.... R....

    in my opinion, one of the best renditions to such wonderful classic. it really recreated the melancholic sentiment of the original in a completely different dimension.

    L.... R....

    Yes... but She's has traced completely the 1968 Jose Feliciano arrangments. So is Jose who had recreated the song

  77. D.... R....

    nice voice.... bad song choice.

  78. I.... ....

    Great version!

  79. E.... C....

    THIS ONE IS MAKING THE ROUNDS. HER VERSION IS PRETTY GOOD.

  80. B.... S....

    Well done. Similar to the version by Jose Feliciano.

  81. I.... M....

    Linda linda linda!❤

  82. �.... ....

    perfect.

  83. O.... B....

    BLASPHEMY!!!

  84. B.... B....

    I love Queen Latifah's voice. Is it just me or do you guys hear any similarities between Queen Latifah's and Mary J. Bilge's singing voices? Both great voices indeed, but Queen Latifah's voice seems more polished than Mary J. Blige's voice. No disrespect to Mary J.

    B.... B....

    I would agree with that. MJB is alright, but I think Queen Latifah has a nicer voice (and persona). MJB is a bit rough around the edges, voice-wise and other.

    B.... B....

    NoireFox much better all that I was just not cool this album is really cool especially the song at the end of the movie that she was singing it's just a beautiful album it's good to see her growing and maturing once again it's just so

    B.... B....

    Queen voice harmonize more smoothly then mary j I dont hear any similarities between them

  85. R.... M....

    I agree Bobby Womack's version is excellant but not to say better but different: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XpOj_xnON8c

  86. P.... o....

    sorry....but Bobby Womack's version was way better.

    P.... o....

    Bobby's was the bomb🚨

  87. A.... D....

    BEST version ever!!

  88. r.... m....

    Fabuleux

  89. a.... i....

    essa mulher é muito bonita nesta foto

  90. K.... ....

    Stay with the rap, and try weight watchers you fucking whale 🐳

  91. F.... F....

    Her voice is amazing!

    F.... F....

    Very cool, sweet and warm

  92. M.... D....

    Very nice cover.

  93. C.... M....

    better than original and better than sia version

  94. A.... W....

    a friend turned me on to this glad that he did.

  95. a.... ....

    Lovely...great!! A great re-make. Queen Latifah you did it baby!

  96. M.... L....
