There’s a song running aroung in my head. Can you help me recall the title and artist?

“When she cries at night, and she doesn’t think that I can hear…”  
The title may very well be “When She Cries”

Who was this? …So many one-hit wonders to get forgotten!

Thanks,

- Jinx

Restless Heart

_When she cries, at night,  
And she doesn’t think that I can hear her.  
She tries, to hide,  
All the fear she feels inside.  
So I pray, this time,  
I can be the man that she deserves.  
'Cos I die a little each time,  
When she cries._
