Can You Hold Me

Released in 2015, this duet by Britt Nicole and rapper NF overflows with raw emotion and power. The arc begins and ends with a soft, vulnerable soprano solo reaching out for comfort during a painful experience. A companion enters and the duet continues with the choir joining in underneath, layering and building until a climatic final plea for connection underscored with huge orchestral instrumentation. The chart also features an optional spoken soloist for a more authentic sound.

Instrumentation: Piano/Bass/Guitar/Synth/Drums/Percussion/2 Tpt/1 Tbn/Bass Tbn/Alto, Tenor, Bari Sax

It feels like a tear in my heart
Like a part of me missing
And I just can't feel it
I've tried and I've tried
And I've tried

Tears on my face I can't take it
If lonely is a taste then it's all that I'm tasting
Do you hear my cry?
I cry, oh

Can you hold me?
Can you hold me?
Can you hold me in your arms?

Just wrap me in your arms, in your arms
I don't wanna be nowhere else
Take me from the dark, from the dark
I ain't gonna make it myself
Put your arms around me
Put your arms around me
Let your love surround me
I am lost
I am lost
If I ain't got you, yeah,
If I ain't got you, I ain't got nothing at all

Can you hold me?
Can you hold me?
Can you hold me in your arms?
In your arms?

Yeah, I feel like it's just me, feel like it's just me
What it gon' take? What it gon' be?
I don't even know 
(It's not just you)
But I'm lonely
Feeling like I don't even know me, 
I don't even know me
(I feel it too) 
Gotta have you, gotta see you
(You're the only thing I have to think about
The only one I that can't live without) 
Gotta see you
(I need you to hold me now)

Can you hold me?
Can you hold me?
Can you hold me in your arms?
In your arms?

(Britt Nicole, NF)
