A Sentimental Man (From "Wicked" Original Broadway Cast Recording/2003)

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
