This Day Aria, Part 1

This Day Aria, or Cadence 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. Later in the episode, Queen Chrysalis sings a reprise of the song, when she thinks she has won.

The song seems to bear much resemblance to songs from the Disney Renaissance period, notably Hellfire from The Hunchback of Notre Dame and Savages from Pocahontas. It also resembles a brief reprise of The Little Mermaid's Poor Unfortunate Souls where the villain sings to the mirror while in disguise before her marriage to a hypnotized man.

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]
 * We 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 chuckle]

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 chuckle]
