The song clearly shows the man having been left by his partner. He seems to be struggling with not thinking about her which causes him to mourn, so he tells himself that time goes on and you should not waste it for simple things.
[Verse]
My baby left me just the other day
I guess the things will never be the same
But I must forget that she is gone
Because time goes by and life goes on
Making plans, shaking hands
Try to prove that I'm a man
It's hard to do but I must try
Because life goes on and so will I
It's been kind of tough these last few days
Trying to act normal and be gay
It's not easy to be all alone
But time goes by and life goes on
If I see her anywhere
I hope she thinks that I don't care
For after night there comes the dawn
Yes time goes by and life goes on
