The story behind the song

"When She Cries" speaks to the enduring power of a woman's love, the kind that keeps a man trying even after a long and difficult journey. It's a prayer for that love to be returned, to fill her loving eyes with joy. This song, written by Sonny LeMaire and Marc Beeson, marked a new chapter for Restless Heart, with drummer John Dittrich taking the lead vocals for the first single from their 1992 album, Big Iron Horses. It's a tender reflection on gratitude and hope, a quiet promise to cherish the one who has always been there.
