Yes, but it should be a dependent clause rather than used as an independent clause.

OK: Because you are my friend, I want to give you this gift.

Not OK: Because you are my friend. [This, however, would be acceptable in casual conversation. Why are you giving me this? Because you are my friend.]

Because I could not stop for Death,
He kindly stopped for me;
The carriage held but just ourselves
And Immortality. -- Emily Dickinson
