Kun Kello Käy (English translation: "When Time Goes By") was the Finnish entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1968, performed in Finnish by Kristina Hautala.
The song was performed ninth on the night (following Sweden's Claes-Göran Hederström with Det Börjar Verka Kärlek, Banne Mej and preceding France's Isabelle Aubret with La Source). At the close of voting, it had received 1 point, placing 16th (equal last) in a field of 17.

The song is a love ballad, with Hautala singing to her lover that time goes too quickly when they are together and expressing the desire for this not to be the case.

It was succeeded as Finnish representative at the 1969 Contest, by Jarkko & Laura with Kuin Silloin Ennen.
