time passes by so quickly vs time goes past so fast

In this example, "time passes by so quickly" is correct. The word "past" most commonly means "beyond," as in "Don't go past the house," or "long ago," as in "Let's not speak of that; it's in the past."

time passes by so quickly

This phrase is correct.

This is a common sentiment. (If you have children, people might say, "The days are long and the years are short."
