1). Where I come from we say multiple things for this phrase. The one that sounds most natural to me is: Time flew.(Nothing else just those two words) Another one that is used more when speaking is: Oh, how time flies.
2). It is a little confusing as to why you put the in front of friend. Did you mean "my friend", because otherwise it sounds like you are foreshadowing a future event.
