Lyrics: A Sentimental Man

(from "Wicked" soundtrack)

[Elphaba:]
My heart's desire is for you to help the animals

[Wizard:]
I had a feeling you were gonna say that
And I agree wholeheartedly

[Elphaba:]
That makes me so happy

[Wizard:]
Well, that's what I do best
Makin' people happy

I am a sentimental man
Who always longed to be a father
That's why I do the best I can
To treat each citizen of Oz as son or daughter
So, Elphaba, I'd like to raise you high
'Cause I think everyone deserves the chance to fly
And helping you with your ascent allows me to feel so
Parental
For I am
A sentimental man
