and the sky is grey
i’ve been for a walk
on a winter’s day
i’d be safe and warm
if i was in l.a.
california dreaming
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 likes the cold
he knows i’m gonna stay
california dreaming
on such a winter’s day
all the leaves are brown
and the sky is grey
i’ve been for a walk
on a winter’s day
if i didn’t tell her
i could leave today
california dreaming
on such a winter’s day
california dreaming
on such a winter’s day
california dreaming
on such a winter’s day
相信看过《重庆森林》的人，一定对这首歌曲不陌生了
《 CaliforniaDreaming》贯穿阿菲出现的始末，领渡她一步步从想象走到现实，同时她在店中音乐大到刺耳，这完全是一份逃离现实的处世态度----这使她不用去想世事。当阿菲结束从香港到加州的游历回到原地，音乐又把她领回633身边，两人的加州之梦成为现实，故事也就到此为止。
整首歌的旋律都很简单，歌词也是循环在唱。没有一点流行乐的无病呻吟，也没那些管弦乐器的沉重，很轻松自在的感觉，听它无须制造什么环境和心情。
