Eurovision Song Contest 1985 , performed in Greek byLia Vissi .The song was performed third on the night (following
Finland 'sSonja Lumme with "Eläköön Elämä " and precedingDenmark 'sHot Eyes with "Sku' Du Spørg' Fra No'En? "). At the close of voting, it had received 15 points, placing 16th in a field of 19.The song itself is a ballad, with Vissi lamenting the fact that she realised the wonder of her former relationship too late.
More remarkable, however, is the fact that this song marks the first occasion in Contest history when two sisters represented their country at different times (Lia's younger sister
Anna Vissi had previously represented Cyprus at the 1982 Contest with "Mono I Agapi " as well as representingGreece in the 1980 Contest with "Autostop ").The song was succeeded as Cypriot representative at the 1986 Contest by
Elpida withTora Zo .
