You Hold the Key is Beth Nielsen Chapman's third album ('Hearing it first' was her first, in 1980). It was released in 1993 on Reprise Records, and features a duet with British singer-songwriter and Mike + The Mechanics vocalist/keyboardist Paul Carrack, called "In the Time It Takes".
The title of this album, as well as the song title it is named after, are from a line in the song "Open Your Heart", by US singer Madonna.
