You are my angel
And like stardust you fell
Out of the sky and
Into my life

So unexpected
Yet completely accepted
You are the reason
That I am alive

Enjoy your hours of fun
Cos time is now marching to its drum
Ensure you have your say
Before that chance evapourates

Alway so happy
To see you chatty
You make my heart melt
With your smile

We play a game quiz
Of how great our love is
There are less stars
Out in the sky

Enjoy your hours of fun
Cos time is now marching to its drum
Ensure you have your say
Before that chance evapourates

(BRIDGE)

And how the time flies

I have so much I want to show you
I wish I could hold you
I wish I could go with you
I have so little time to tell you

You are the reason I am here
Words cannot tell you how I feel
All I can say is you nothing to fear, I will be with you
I will stay here, I'll be here for you

Rest your weary head my love and look up above
The stars are out and the sky is bright with my endless love
You're a supernova rollercoaster blaze of light
I'll love you evermore, always, until the end of time
You are my angel
You are my stardust

What's it about?
Originally, mainly about a parent's enduring and infinite love for their child. You can never ever ever ever know your child for long enough, so enjoy the time you have to share your love. The current lyrics can be applied more widely in the context of a love song.
