The girl is "...waiting to feel alright..." meaning, she knows that she's going to die, and she is waiting to go to heaven. Her friend (I'm assuming it's a guy) is afraid of her dying,"...fear of flight..." so apparently, she was like a cornerstone to him. The "...beautiful in white..." He also knows that she's going to heaven, so he knows about the new body she is to recieve once she gets there.
The next section, he's taking a last talk with her "...through a garden it's midday..." now this also coicides with Jesus in the garden of Gethsemane, where He prays before He gets betrayed. So we know that the girl's death is soon. The guy prays that the girl is taken quietly, and peacefully "...Praying for a safe filght..." but he knows that she's in a lot of pain. Once again, he says that she is "...beautiful in white..." saying that she will be an angel in Heaven.
The last two verses, the girl is in the last moments, and the guy is blaming himself for her death. She is "...soaring to greater heights..." going to Heaven, saying her last goodbye until they meet again. Her pain is gone, she feels young again. Finally, as his last goodbye, he tells her that he still loves her, even though she is gone for now, but they will meet again. "...have I told you that you're beautiful tonight..."
That's just my taking on the song, of course, so you may not agree. But that's how I take it.
