In Love for a While was the Swiss entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 2011 in Düsseldorf performed by Anna Rossinelli. It was chosen to represent Switzerland through the country's new selection process Die Grosse Entscheidungs Show after many years of non-success through internal selections.
The song qualified from the first semifinal in 10th place, squeezing past Malta by 1 point. In the final, it was performed 13th following Italy and preceding the United Kingdom. At the close of voting, it finished in last place with 19 points. This would also be Switzerland's last qualification until 2014.
Lyrics[]
I looked into your eyes, and when I saw your smile
I knew right from the start: life is good for a while
Romance comes and goes, but a love like ours is here to stay
Each lovely night and sunny day
I love everything about you, I couldn't do without you
Whenever you're near me, all my days are on the bright side
But when I'm not around you, I have to find the way
To be with you each night and every day
Na nanana nanana... na nanana nanana...
Na nanana nananana... na nananana...
Na nanana nanana... na nanana nanana...
Nanana nanana nanana...
And as time goes by and we've seen stormy weather
I know that you and I, we're always getting better
But when I'm not around you, I have to find the way
To be with you each night and every day
Oh, I couldn't do without you, yeah
I have to find the way to... to be with you, no oh no no oh...
I love everything you do
I have to find the way to be with you
I know you and I are in love for a while
