Well I think it's about Noel meeting the girl of his dreams and it's an amazing song.
To me the first verse is describing the first time the girl is seen; likening her to an angel.
The second verse is about when they first met, he wants to treat he like the angel he thinks she is. She looks after him.
Third verse is - first he's talking about not expecting this love, or looking for it or praying for it. Then it moves on to the insecurity of losing this girl.
The last verse isn't a nightmare in my opinion - the sky turning red is a sunset, he just realises she's a dream and she's singing Shangri-la which is metaphor for paradise.
