"Even the Man in the Moon Is Cryin'" is a song co-written and recorded by American country music artist Mark Collie. It was released in August 1992 as the first single from the album Mark Collie. The song reached number 5 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart and peaked at number 11 on the Canadian RPM Country Tracks chart.[2] Collie wrote the song with Don Cook.
The song is a ballad, in which the narrator explains that he is upset because his lover has left him.
Deborah Evans Price, of Billboard magazine gave the song a favorable review, calling it a "praiseworthy delivery of a progressively written ballad." She goes on to call it "infectious and believable."[3]
The music video was directed by John Lloyd Miller and premiered in late 1992.
