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
