California Dreaming ....
While I was at the beach at Sunderland, England, I was accidentally scan some of the songs over my phone and seeking new songs to sing. This song caught my attention and since then I had began learning up this beautiful song. I also have the similar dreams too .. I have long to be resident of California state. It is called California Dreaming ...
"California Dreamin'" is a song written by John Phillips and Michelle Phillips and was first recorded by Barry McGuire.[2] However, the best known version is by The Mamas & the Papas, who sang backup on the original version and released as a single in 1965. The song is #89 in Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.[3] The lyrics of the song express the narrator's longing for the warmth of Los Angeles during a cold winter in New York City.
The song became a signpost of the California Myth[4] and the arrival of the nascent counterculture era.[5][6]
"California Dreamin' " was certified as a Gold Record (single) by the RIAA in June 1966[7] and was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2001.[8]

The song was written in 1963 while John Phillips and Michelle Phillips were living in New York.[9]
He dreamed about the song and woke her up to help him write it.
Michelle Phillips enjoyed visiting churches, and she and John Phillips
visited St. Patrick's Cathedral,
which inspired the second verse of "California Dreamin’" ("Stopped into
a church..."). John hated the verse, as he was turned off to churches
by unpleasant memories of parochial school, but he couldn't think of
anything better so he left it in.[10][11] At the time, John and Michelle Phillips were members of the folk group "The New Journeymen", which evolved into The Mamas & the Papas.
They earned their first record contract after being introduced to Lou Adler, the head of Dunhill Records, by Barry McGuire. In thanks to Adler, they sang the backing vocals to "California Dreamin'" with members of the session band The Wrecking Crew[12] on McGuire's album This Precious Time.
The Mamas & the Papas then recorded their own version using the
same instrumental and backing vocal tracks to which they added new
vocals[13] and an alto flute solo by Bud Shank. P. F. Sloan did the guitar introduction.[14]
McGuire's original vocal can be briefly heard on the left channel at
the beginning of the record, having not been completely wiped.[15]
The single was released in late 1965 but was not an immediate
breakthrough. After gaining little attention in Los Angeles upon its
release, Michelle Phillips remembers that it took a radio station in
Boston to break the song nationwide.[16] After making its chart debut in January 1966,[17] the song peaked at number 4 in March on both the Billboard Hot 100, lasting 17 weeks, and Cashbox, lasting 20 weeks.[18] "California Dreamin'" was the number 1 single of 1966 in Billboard[19] and tied for number 1 with "Ballad of the Green Berets" in Cashbox. "California Dreamin'" also reached number 23 on the UK charts upon its original release and re-charted after its use in a Carling Black Label commercial in 1997, eventually peaking at number 9 there.
Lyrics
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 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 likes the cold (preacher likes 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 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 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
