Lyrics Who's Betty Schaefer? - Andrew Lloyd Webber, Original Broadway Cast Of Sunset Boulevard, Glenn Close

Who's Betty Schaefer?

Is this what you’re looking for, by any chance?
Why, yes
Whose phone number is this?
I’ve been worried about the line of my throat.
I think this woman has done wonders with it
Good
And I’ve lost half a pound since Tuesday
Very good
Now it’s after nine.
I’d better get to bed
You had
Are you coming up?
I think I’ll read a while longer
You went out last night, didn’t you, Joe?
I went for a walk
You took the car
I drove to the beach
Who’s Betty Schaefer?
Surely, you don’t want me to feel as if I’m a prisoner in this house?
You don’t understand, Joe.
I’m under such a terrible strain
It’s been so hard I even got myself a revolver.
The only thing that stopped me
from killing myself was the thought of all those people, waiting to see me back
on the screen.
How could I disappoint them?
All I ask is a little patience,
a little understanding
Norma, there’s nothing to worry about.
I haven’t done anything
Of course you haven’t.
Good night, my darling
I should have stayed there
Poor Norma
So desperate to be ready
For what would never happen
But Betty would be waiting
We had a script to finish
One unexpected love scene
Two people, both risking
A kind of happy ending
