“Room Enough for Two” Lyrics

Everything starts like a knock at the door You don’t know what it is but you know who it’s for That’s the way we began and there’s no end in sight Something good must be right Must be right There’s room enough for two in a place that I know of Has a city view with a blue sky above Anywhere is home when there’s someone there to share it There’s room enough for you I got room enough for two in my life

Original Opening Sequence

Background & Analysis

The My Sister Sam theme song, titled “Room Enough for Two,” is a quintessential 80s ballad composed by John Bettis and Steve Dorff. Performed by Grammy-winner Kim Carnes, the song perfectly mirrors the show’s focus on the evolving relationship between Sam (Pam Dawber) and her younger sister Patti (Rebecca Schaeffer).

The lyrics emphasize the concept of finding home wherever there is family. Set against the backdrop of Sam’s photography studio in San Francisco, the “city view with a blue sky above” mentioned in the lyrics directly references the show’s setting. The music’s tender tone helped establish the series as more than just a comedy, but a heartfelt exploration of family and shared lives.
