Sobre el álbum
El segundo álbum de estudio en solitario, Colour All My Days, de 1986, muestra a un Limahl que busca consolidar su sonido y su carrera tras el arrollador éxito de "The NeverEnding Story". En este trabajo el artista continúa explorando el synth-pop sofisticado, con una producción aún más pulida y un enfoque en las melodías románticas.
El álbum está de nuevo producido en parte por Giorgio Moroder, lo que garantiza un sonido elegante y de alta calidad, muy en la línea del pop europeo de la época. El single principal, "Love in Your Eyes", es una balada de synth-pop con un estribillo memorable que tuvo un éxito considerable en varios países europeos.
La canción que da título al disco, "Colour All My Days", es otra pieza destacada, un tema optimista y bailable que refleja el espíritu del pop de los 80. Mientras tanto, el resto del álbum mantiene una coherencia sonora, con un uso prominente de teclados, arreglos orquestales sintetizados y la característica voz de Limahl.
Pese a su calidad, el álbum no logró replicar el fenómeno de su anterior éxito. "Colour All My Days" es un trabajo de pop muy bien ejecutado y representativo de su tiempo, una sólida continuación que no pudo escapar de la alargada sombra de la historia interminable.

Letra
I feel a presence in the air Of something special, something rare Love in your eyes is the reason why Holding the secret as certain prize Love in your eyes is the flame that makes Me feel so warm inside! Were silent wishes to be heard It would express that single word Love in your eyes is the reason why Holding the secret as certain prize Love in your eyes is the flame that makes Me feel so warm inside! It suddenly takes you by the hand And leads you through the promised land Is this really happening to me and you? A thousand words could not describe This precious way I feel alive Love in your eyes is the reason why Holding the secret as certain prize Love in your eyes is the flame that makes Me feel so warm inside!

Letra
Every now and then there comes a time To say a little more then words And dedicate it to the one we love To demonstrate how much we care Just when we were maybe feeling low I took some time to think things through May I propose a toast to you and me For fighting stormy weather And keeping love together [Chorus:] Colour all my days Shine for me always Take a moment notice how you Colour all my days With a thousand lights Stay with me for just a lifetime more Hearing this will come as no surprise Relationships are give and take Ignoring what may seem in something small Will often be the big mistake Come tomorrow in a brand new day That will provide us with a chance To put it down to the experience Who said this love is over You've only just begun to [Repeat chorus 'til fade] - Nothing on Earth (Can Keep Me from You)3:53
Letra
Lately I've been missing you And spending the nights alone I know it's late but my instincts say Call you on the telephone No one told me if I had to fade Life without you would be an empty place Honey I need you again [Chorus:] Nothing on earth can keep me from you So I'm turning round and coming home The girl I love's in another place And that's where I belong Baby I apologize For selfishy walking away But deep down inside under the pride This heart has suffered the same Honey I try to have an open mind Respect the courage I had to find I need you again [Chorus] Nothing in the world can keep us apart So I'm sending out an S.O.S. The love I need's just a breath away Can't be someone else [Chorus to fade] - Tonight Will Be the Night4:11
Letra
There is something between you and me Show me show me if you agree Did not force it Made no move It happened naturally Growing stronger [Chorus:] Tonight will be the night Let's make it right And we could last forever Love will take its place And fill the space That love can leave forever Fate was rarely ever this kind Guiding you here to meet me on time We were people Till today Both leading separate lives But it's easy to decide [Chorus] Can't begin to emphasize The strength of what I'm feeling inside Don't you see this heart won't be deprived [Repeat chorus 'til fade] - Working Out4:17
Letra
If there is ever a moment to be taken shy It's when I have to take off my clothes And so I've finally planned to get my act together In an effort to be put on show [Chorus:] So I'm working out To be a physical dream Working out Could even make the movie screen Working out To build up confidence Working out Because you know it makes sense With the curves in their selective places I'll be a miracle of modern man And the body I see in the mirror Will be lost forever in my historic plan [Chorus] Sometimes nature will deliver right on time And my wish may finally come true So with a little bit of toning here and there From the glossy magazines I'll be facing you [Chorus] [Spoken:] Young man have you ever appeared in a movie before The casting director is looking for someone just like you We may have to change your name of course And the contract could tie you up for the next five years Why don't you fly to Hollywood next week At home we call it Tinseltown Let's do dinner Let's do desert Let's do cocktails Have a nice day - Don't Send for Me3:39
- Shock4:30
Letra
Only the slightest touch of you Will send the passion rushing through Lady laying beside of me Answer of all my fantasies Your lips are moving close to mine So I may taste the sweetest wine A spell has taken control of me And making love is the only need The lady whispers hold on tight For the performance of your live Guide me into your energy To spend the moment in ecstasy - Inside to Outside3:33
Letra
Is it your alluring way? Could you always drown the fire? Keep a check on all you feel Keep a hold on your desire But I feel theres something new And its lying in your eyes Theres a shudder running through... You... now I realize Inside turning to outside The feeling you cant hide Is touching a high-light in your eyes Inside turning to outside Its gonna be alright Its runnin a high for you and I Like a shadow of yourself Like a spirit in the air Looking desperately for help You've been looking everywhere My heart is beating fast Blue eyes are locked on mine A vision flashes past Moving me in time Inside turning to outside The feeling you cant hide Is touching a high-light in your eyes Inside turning to outside Its gonna be alright Its runnin a high for you and I And we can live in a beautiful world Hide away under peaceful skies We can survive on time and a word Feel the nights passing by... Inside turning to outside The feeling you cant hide Is touching a high-light in your eyes Inside turning to outside Its gonna be alright Its runnin a high for you and I [Fade] - Love Will Tear the Soul3:41
Letra
Learning of the truth is never easy But you must get hold of yourself As a friend I feel I have to tell you It's damaging your health [Chorus:] Love will tear the soul Confuse the mind Till you finally Leave it behind All you need is time To heal the blindness in your eyes Cause the feeling of lost and being lonely Comes with goodbye [Chorus] Normally I wouldn't know Why fate has dealt you this cruel blow Simply you're the victim of Just a little thing called love gone wrong [Repeat chorus 'til fade] - For My Heart's Sake3:40
