This Day Aria, Part 1

This Day Aria, or Cadance's Aria, is a song that is featured in the episode A Canterlot Wedding - Part 2. It is sung by both Princess Cadance and Changeling Queen Chrysalis in the form of Cadance. Later in the episode, Queen Chrysalis sings a reprise of the song, when she thinks she has won. The melody of the song is in a Deceptive Cadence Progression, which was later confirmed by William Kevin Anderson, the score composer of the show's songs.

Lyrics

 * [Queen Chrysalis]
 * This day is going to be perfect
 * The kind of day of which I dreamed since I was small
 * Everypony will gather round
 * Say I look lovely in my gown
 * What they don't know is that I have fooled them all.


 * [Princess Cadance]
 * This day was going to be perfect
 * The kind of day of which I dreamed since I was small
 * But instead of having cake
 * With all my friends to celebrate
 * My wedding bells, they may not ring for me at all.


 * [Queen Chrysalis]
 * I could care less about the dress
 * I won't partake in any cake
 * Vows, well I'll be lying when I say
 * That through any kind of weather
 * I'll want us to be together
 * The truth is I don't care for him at all


 * No I do not love the groom
 * In my heart there is no room
 * But I still want him to be all mine!


 * [Princess Cadance]
 * Must escape before it's too late
 * Find a way to save the day
 * Hope, I'll be lying if I say
 * I don't fear that I may lose him
 * To one who wants to use him
 * Not care for, love and cherish him each day


 * For I oh-so love the groom
 * All my thoughts he does consume
 * Oh Shining Armor, I'll be there very soon.


 * [Queen Chrysalis]
 * Finally the moment has arrived
 * For me to be one lucky bride.


 * [Princess Cadance]
 * Oh, the wedding we won't make
 * He'll end up marrying a fake
 * Shining Armor will be


 * [Queen Chrysalis]
 * Mine, all mine. [evil giggle]

Reprise

 * [Queen Chrysalis]
 * This day has been just perfect
 * The kind of day of which I've dreamed since I was small
 * Everypony I'll soon control
 * Every stallion, mare and foal
 * Who says a girl can't really have it all? [evil but weird chuckle]
