Webster Theme Song Lyrics
Set in my ways
Losing track of the days
Only me to live for
Had no need to give more
Than I wanted to
Spending my time just holding the line
Never getting caught up
Love was never brought up
It’s not the thing to do
It was you
Then came you
You made me leap without taking a look
It was you, then came you
You reeled me right in line, sinker and hook
Never thought forever was the best I could do
Then came you
It was you
And me and you
Then came you
It was you
And me and you
It was you
And me and…
Then came you!

Behind the Theme: Then Came You
The Webster theme song, titled “Then Came You,” perfectly encapsulates the transformative power of family. Composed by Steve Nelson and Madeline Sunshine, the lyrics tell the story of George and Katherine Papadapolis—a couple “set in their ways”—whose lives are turned upside down (in the best way possible) when young Webster Long enters their world.
The sitcom, created by Stu Silver, became a 1980s landmark for its portrayal of adoption, grief, and unconditional love. Over its 150-episode run, the theme song remained a comforting constant, reminding viewers that sometimes the best things in life happen when you “leap without taking a look.”
