The song is a ballad , in which the speaker asks an absent lover what has become of him . She compares his love to the warmth provided by the sun , and asks where this has gone . As the song nears its end , however , he returns to her and the final chorus features a key change and the more positive words : " You are the sun / That will warm me . " The song was performed 13th on the night , after Malta 's Chris and Moira with " More than Love " and before MeKaDo singing " Wir geben ' ne Party " for Germany . By the close of voting , it had received a total of four points ( all from Austria ) , placing it 23rd in a field of 25 . New rules , introduced to limit the rapidly growing number of finalists , meant that with this result the Netherlands failed to qualify automatically for representation at the 1995 contest , and the country 's next appearance was at the 1996 contest by Maxine and Franklin Brown performing " De eerste keer "
