I think it was Heroditus who said that "you can't step into the same river twice," or words to that effect. That is a poetic approach to the conceptual problem of time and change (and the human condition).
I don't know if this is the best definition I've ever heard, but it seems pretty good at capturing the essence of the problem without laboring towards a specific physical definition.

Time is the measurement of duration. Duration is the assumption of beginning and end. Beginning and end is the mechanism of memory. Memory is the storing of sensory experience. Sensory experience is the recognition and symbolization of stimulus. Stimulus is the separation of 'I' and 'not I'. There is only I. Time is an illusion.

It is the way Nothingness manifests. Time always passes and in fact is already past whenever we notice it. Since Nothingness is the truth of existence it manifests by almost being, or not being, which means passing.

Time is the one thing all humans desire,It cannot be bought with money, it is the one thing all humans waste and never have enough of.

Time is the true coin of our lives. We should spend it wisely and not let others squander our coin.

"Time is an artificial construct of man to assist in the preservation of sanity."
I don't remember to whom it is attributed; but, at some level it begins to make sense.
