Lyrics This is my life: Funny how a lonely day, can make a person say: What good is my life Funny how a breaking heart, can make me start to say: What good is my life Funny how I often seem, to think I'll find another dream (or to think I'll never find a dream) In my life Till I look around and see, this great big world is part of me And my life This is my life Today, tomorrow, love will come and find me But that's the way that I was born to be This is me This is me This is my life And I don't give a damn for lost emotions I've such a lot of love I've got to give Let me live Let me live Sometime when I feel afraid, I think of what a mess I've made of my life Crying over my mistakes, forgetting all the breaks I've had In my life I was put on earth to be, a part of this great world is me And my life Guess I'll just have to score, and count the things I'm grateful for In my life This Is my life Today, tomorrow, love will come and find me But that's the way that I was born to be This is me This is me This is my life And I don't give a damn for lost emotions I've such a lot of love I've got to give Let me live Let me live This is my life This is my life This is my lfe.

The two keep in touch through letters for a number of years until Hillary, now a successful lawyer moves to New York to stay with struggling singer CC. The movie shows the various stages of their friendship and their romances including their love for the same man.
