Parton wrote this song for the 1996 CBS TV movie also titled Unlikely Angel, which Parton starred in and produced. She performs this song in the film’s climax. The song went unreleased for many years because no official soundtrack was ever released for the film.
Parton said in a 2014 interview with...
Like the Phoenix
From the ash and dirt
I rose up from the pain and hurt
When I was at my very worst
I found you
Thought I could never love again
When a stream of light came beaming in
A thread of hope
For me to spend around you
[Chorus:]
Unlikely Angel
Standing there in front of me
As if you were my destiny
Like we were always meant to be together
Unlikely Angel
It feels so right inside your love
Like God has sent you from above
To honor, cherish, and to love forever
The smile upon your angel face
The heaven in your eyes replace
The hell that I've been going through
Before you
How long have you been there for me
I once was blind but now I see
A future full of hope
How I adore you
[Repeat Chorus]
Unlikely Angel
Standing there in front of me
As if you were my destiny
Like we were always meant to be together
Unlikely Angel
Oh, you never know where one might be
In sacred halls or crowded streets
But God has sent one straight down to me from heaven
Unlikely Angel
Unlikely Angel
Unlikely Angel
Unlikely Angel
Hmmmm
[Whisper:]
