And the Baby Never Cries

This song was recorded on Harry's original demo tape for Elektra but was not actually released until his second album. 

This song was featured, along with Sniper,  on the Elektra September 1972 Sampler album. From the album notes, "... And the Baby Never Cries is a touching love song that concerns a musician and his relationship with a young woman who has a small baby. The musician 'caught her on the rebound when I needed her the most.' On this track, as well the rest of the album, the fine piano is supplied by Harry's brother, Steve Chapin." 

The meaning behind the song was discussed on eGroups. eGroups (25 March 2001)
