In Whatever Time We Have (Children of Eden) - Stage 2

 I bought this cd at Border's when it came out in 1997.  The arrangements on this album are quite beautiful and I wanted to hear this song again for several reasons.  I was first introduced to it when my best friend from college was in a production of Children of Eden, where this song comes from.  It's a beautiful show by Stephen Schwartz and I highly recommend giving it a listen if you haven't before.  But this song reminds me of one of the theories I've been studying in grad school - the socioemotional selectivity theory which shows us that once we recognize that the time we have left is less than the time we've already spent, we make more informed and impactful choices in our lives.  The things that are important take center stage in life and I love that sentiment.  Enjoy.
