Exactly!!! For me it is the perfect song to celebrate 🎉 Christmas with my girlfriend in Norway 🇳🇴 to see the Aurora Borealis!!! A true masterpiece ! It is my third all time favorite from Eurovision!
One of the most beautiful of all Eurovision songs and Elisabeth sings it so wonderfully.
A perfect vocal from a fantastic artist in every respect.
I think Elisabeth was one of the best singers ever in the contest. She had a lovely voice, good vocal technique, musicality and feeling for the words.
One of Norway's masterpiece in ESC
One of the best songs in the Eurovision of all time!
One of the most beautiful song on eurovision
This should have won by far... stunning
Very beautifull! Is amaising!
1985, 1994 and 1996. A versatile Eurovision icon

What a tough year. Ireland, Norway *and* Sweden could've all taken the prize. But for me, this is the *real* winner. Such a beautiful song.

Sweden was my personal winner with Norway in a close second. I'm really happy that Ireland won in 1996 (I'm Irish what do you expect) but I've always had a soft spot for the British entry in 96. My top 5 would've been 1- Sweden 🇸🇪 2- Norway 🇳🇴 3- Ireland 🇮🇪 4- United Kingdom 🇬🇧 5- Estonia 🇪🇪

It makes me feeling like if I am in a beautiful and charming Christmas with my family and my girlfriend and my friends in Norway 🇳🇴 in Oslo and we are celebrating 🥳 Christmas with the whole city 🌃 during an Aurora Borealis!!!!!! It is truly a gorgeous masterpiece !!!
The true winner of 1996! Love 💗 from Lebanon 🇱🇧
This song grazes perfection
This is an amazing song sung by a fantastic singer.
One of my favorites of all time. Absolutely amazing, should have won.
Absolutely one of my most favorite ESC-songs ever. It should have won that year (1996).
What a stunning voice.
We fly in time with such a powerful song. At the end we feel like may the Aurora Borealis come and all is complete. Love from Brazil !!
This Lady has a great voice remembering her performance in Dublin.
Que voz Que grande. Gracias.
This song gives me the goosebumps. I met Elisabet in Oslo while the Eurovision 2010 was being held by chance. She was really kind to me. Love her ;DDD and love this beautiful song. By the way, I also agree that Eurovision should be live again. I miss the orchestra. Let's put some glamour on it.

It is really weird that you're not allowed to play an instrument live at all though. What is the point behind that rule?

Well, out from the result in 1997 I'm glad we didn't. Fun facts: Tor Endresen along with Elisabeth Andreassen as a duo won a voting in a News paper where lots of Norwegian artists were chosen to go to the Norwegian final. Elisabeth Andreassen was heavily pregnant with her 2nd child at the time, but said that Tor Endresen could either find someone else to sing with or compete alone. He chose to go alone.
Amazing! I'm glad she got to show what she could really do with her voice... Bobbysocks was fun, but this is in a completely different class!

What a beautiful song!
Day is turning to evening Is gone, soon forgotten But what we gave remains A seed will grow and sprout Such is love’s way When it strikes you and me Only when we learn and understand It will ripen and be ours Though the days pass by Vanishing, becoming years Love will always remain For ever and eternity For eternity The river smoothly flows Through meadows, plains and woods But on its way to reach its goal It passes stony rapids Though the days pass by Vanishing, becoming years Love will always remain For ever and eternity For eternity Though the days pass by Vanishing, becoming years Love will always remain For ever and eternity For eternity Love will always remain For ever and eternity For eternity
Still best song in Eurovision, ever. Kudos.

One of the best host entries ever. Just a shame it had to be in the same year as The Voice; any other year it would've won hands down
