Aiello's father deserted the family even though his wife had gone blind. For many years, Aiello had publicly condemned his father's desertion of his children and his blind wife. Aiello reconciled with his father in 1993, but to this day harbors a resentment of his father's conduct.[2][4][5] He moved to the South Bronx when he was age 7 and later attended James Monroe High School.[5] At the age of 16, Aiello lied about his age in order to enlist in the U.S. Army. After serving for three years, he returned to New York City and did various jobs in order to support himself and later his family. Aiello also once served as a union representative for Greyhound bus workers and was a night club bouncer at the legendary New York comedy club The Improv.

You Belong To Me
Danny Aiello Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

See the pyramids along the Nile
Watch the sun rise on a tropic isle
Just remember, darling, all the while
You belong to me
See the marketplace in old Algiers
Send me photographs and souvenirs
But remember when a dream appears
You belong to me

I'll be so alone without you
Maybe you'll be lonesome too and blue
Fly the ocean in a silver plane
Watch the jungle when it's wet with rain

Just remember till you're home again
You belong to me
