Come Back To Stay was the Irish entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1966, performed in English by Dickie Rock.
The song is a ballad, with Rock pleading with a former lover to return to him. He tells her that he is lonely without her and promises that "I'll be true/And that I'll never make you blue", as well as telling her how special she was to him.
It was performed seventeenth on the night (following the Netherlands' Milly Scott with Fernando En Filippo and preceding the United Kingdom's Kenneth McKellar with A Man Without Love). At the close of voting, it had received 14 points, placing 4th in a field of 18.
It was succeeded as Irish representative at the 1967 Contest by Sean Dunphy with If I Could Choose.
