Colour My World" is a song written by American musician James Pankow, one of the founding members of the rock/jazz fusion band Chicago. Part of Pankow's "Ballet for a Girl in Buchannon" song cycle/suite, it was recorded for their second album Chicago, also called Chicago II (1970).

Since Kath's death in 1978 and being brought back into their set list in 1982, lead vocals were performed by Bill Champlin until 1991, when Robert Lamm took the lead.

Colour my world, upon every time hearing it, stops me in my tracks and I am raptured in a deep trance. My heart and soul become invigorated with a reassurance that love exists . Kevin from Reading, PaIf I recall correctly, this was part of a two-sided "A" single, paired with "Beginnings. Koz from Chelsea, Mijohn is right, this is part of "Ballet for a Girl in Buchannon" and this makes up several songs similar to a peice of music with multiple movements. Musicmama from New York, NyI've heard that this is the most commonly-played song at weddings. There was a Chicago live album from about 1971-72.
