"Going by"

Another year, another day
The good times come, and fade away
The sad times bring tears to my eye
I look back now, and heave a sigh.
Watch another year go by
I’m looking back, and I ask why
The time with friends I all forget,
The joyous times the slip I let
Why did I never treasure fun
As often as the rising sun?
But stressing over work to do
Instead of spending time with you?
