At Eurovision

On the night of the final Grönloh performed second in the running order, following Luxembourg and preceding Norway. Only an audio recording of Grönloh's performance survives, as it is believed that the video master of the 1964 contest was destroyed in a fire at the DR archive in the 1970s and no other broadcaster had recorded the show or requested a copy. Voting was by each national jury awarding 5, 3 and 1 points to their top three songs, and at the close of voting "Jij bent mijn leven" had received 2 points (1 each from Denmark and the United Kingdom), placing the Netherlands joint 10th (with Belgium) of the 16 entries. The Dutch jury awarded its 5 points to runaway contest winners Italy.

The Dutch conductor at the contest was Dolf van der Linden.
