Story Behind The Song
My sister is in Alpha Chi Omega, a sorority at Cal State Fullerton. Her "sister" was driving a car that was struck by a drunk driver. She and two other passengers in her car were killed. She was 20 years old. Nick Adenhart had just pitched the best game of his career for the Angels that night. Courtney's favorite color, was pink, her favorite music, was country; and i never knew her personally, but this, is her song.

Lyrics
"PINK ROSE"
The Courtney Stewart Ballad
keep the tv off
its still too soon
it's all over the news
and watchin it again and again
like pourin salt in a wound
Dressed my heart in black, put on her favorite
color that, we're all 'sposed to wear.
Time to say good bye for the last time
[CHORUS]
Pink roses fill the church
with tears in their eyes
Havin to say goodbye to one of their own
Petals fall to the ground
for that country rose
who lived, and loved, and left too soon
The flower may be gone,
but the seeds still remain
in every heart she touched
grows..
a pink rose.
Be the mother, be the sister, be the father, or a friend
just as long as you feel the pain, radiate your heart
Lives changed in an instant. what was lost cannot be found
Those who live have to find a way to go on...
[Chorus]
Holdin tight to the memories,
before the fateful night,
when the world turned on a dime
Life was stolen, hearts were broken
and no one ever wants to say goodbye,
say goodbye like this
[CHORUS]
a pink rose....
