Eurovision Song Contest 1960 , performed in French byFrançois Deguelt .The song is in the "chanson" style popular in the early years of the Contest. Deguelt describes the first night he spent with his lover and explains to her that he realised then that "Life would never have attraction for me/Far from you". It appears from the lyrics, however, that his lover has left him since then, which has resulted in his perpetual waiting for her return in order to relive "that night".
The song was performed eighth on the night (following
Austria 'sHarry Winter withDu hast mich so fasziniert and precedingSwitzerland 'sAnita Traversi withCielo E Terra ). At the close of voting, it had received 15 points, placing 3rd in a field of 13.It was succeeded as Monegasque representative at the 1961 Contest by
Colette Deréal withAllons, Allons Les Enfants .
