| abstract | - Waar is de zon? was the Dutch entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1994 in Dublin performed by Willeke Alberti. 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 thirteenth on the night, following Malta and preceding Germany. By the close of voting, it finished in 23rd place. New rules, introduced to limit the rapidly growing number of finalists, meant that with this result the Netherlands was relegated for the next contest, but would return in 1996.
