So long, Frank Lloyd Wright.
I can't believe your song is gone so soon.
I barely learned the tune
So soon
So soon.

I'll remember Frank Lloyd Wright.
All of the nights we'd harmonize till dawn.
I never laughed so long
So long
So long.

[Chorus]
Architects may come and
Architects may go and
Never change your point of view.
When I run dry
I stop awhile and think of you

So long, Frank Lloyd Wright
All of the nights we'd harmonize till dawn.
I never laughed so long
So long
So long.

    My Opinion:The production of this song is amazing, especially the shimmering background vocals as the song fades out. Beautiful piece.

    General Comment:I don't believe it was Paul saying goodbye to Art as much as foreshadowing the breakup of the group. It was released on their final album, Bridge Over Troubled Water. Msleamich, the song your thinking of is The Only Little Boy in New York. Paul wrote this song when Art when down to Mexico to shoot Catch 22.

    General Comment:I bought the BOTW album on LP a few years ago and I got shivers listening to this song. It's one of my all time fav's. It's like it symbolizes the end of a stage in my life.

    General Comment:Paul is saying goodbye to Artie; if you listen closely towards the end of the song you can hear Paul say "So long already Artie."

    General Comment:Art Garfunkel studied Architecture in college. Simon referred to Art as Frank. This song is about when Art left for a movie in, if i remember correctly, Mexico. Rich you are right about his reference to Art and Frank. The lyrics are very obvious to how Simon was feeling at the time.

    General Comment:I heard somewhere, I can't remember exactly where though, that this song is about Art Garfunkel (who trained as an architect) rather than Frank Lloyd Wright. Looking at the lyrics, it's pretty obvious, it's not even really a double-meaning: "all of the nights we'd harmonize till dawn". Or was this a reference to the as-yet unreleased Frank Lloyd Wright & Paul Simon duets album? :-)
