"When She Cries" is a song written by Sonny LeMaire and Marc Beeson and performed by American country music group Restless Heart. It was released in August 1992 as the first single from their fifth studio album, Big Iron Horses. Being that it was the band's first album not to feature lead singer Larry Stewart, vocal duties were shared among the band members; drummer John Dittrich sings lead on "When She Cries".
Although the song reached only number nine on the US Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart compared to their collection of number-one hits, "When She Cries" was their greatest crossover success, reaching number 11 on the Billboard Hot 100.[1] Worldwide, the song peaked at number six in Canada and number 10 in Iceland. The B-side of the cassette single features snippets of other songs on the album.[1]
