Don't Put All Your Dreams In A Basket - Ray Charles, G.D. McKee, Milton Garred

Now don’t put all your dreams in one basket

Don’t put all your hope in one heart

Fie if you discover

That she loves another

You’ll be licked before you start

Now don’t put all your dreams in one basket

Love is such a fragile thing

And if you should break it

Are you sure you can take it?

How would your heart forget to sing?

Don’t put all your dreams in one basket

Don’t upset your applecart

She may think she’s clever

And leave you forever

Then what will you tell your heart?

So don’t put your dreams in one basket

Best made plans may go astray

If you play for hard stakes

You might play with heartaches

Never throw your dreams away

Never throw your dreams away
