"Dear Friend" is an opera aria written by Aaron Springer, sung by SpongeBob to persuade Patrick to become his friend again. It is sung in the episode "Squidward's School for Grown-Ups."

Lyrics

SpongeBob: Dear friend, don't say that it's all over!

As long as I breathe, I will cherish our bond!

Squidward: Terrible!

SpongeBob: Dear friend, don't say that it's all over!

My heart bounces on rocks!

Jagged and gray!

Dear friend, don't say that it's all over!

Let's stay pals!

What do you say?
