Who Can Know What Tomorrow Brings
It wasn't long before the day was dying and Jen reached Gibbs' house. Before she could knock on the door Gibbs opened it and greeted her with a kiss. "Back to my question from earlier, where does this leave us?" Jen asked. "Nice to see you too Jen" Gibbs replied sarcastically. "Well?" Jen asked. "Why don't you come in and we'll talk." Gibbs replied. Jen was surprised when she walked in to see a fire in the fireplace, dinner on the table, and a bottle of wine. "What's all this?" Jen asked. "This will be our last meal together for a while, so I thought it should be nice." Gibbs replied.
Go on and close the curtains…
Cause all we need is candlelight…
You and me and the bottle of wine…
And to hold you tonight…
Well, we know I'm going away…
And how I wish, I wish it weren't so…
So take this wine and drink with me…
Let's delay our misery…
Save tonight…
And fight the break of dawn…
Come tomorrow…
Tomorrow I'll be gone…
Save Tonight…
And fight the break of dawn…
Come tomorrow…
Tomorrow I'll be gone….
"I could go with you." Jen said over dinner. "No I think it's best I do this alone. Don't get me wrong I would like you to go but you're needed here and I need you to watch over my team." Gibbs said. "How long do you think this will take?" Jen asked. "I don't know, I have to get custody and you know that can take a long time. If I'm lucky she'll want to come with me." Gibbs replied. "And if you're not?" Jen asked. "It could take some time. Listen Jen, don't feel that you have to wait for me because you don't. I would like it if you did because I do love you. I just wanted you to know that you don't have to. I haven't had much luck in the relationship department, well making the relationships work is where I have a problem." Gibbs said but was then interrupted by Jen with a kiss. "I'll wait. You're worth it." Jen replied.
There's a log on the fire…
And it burns like me for you…
Tomorrow comes with one desire…
To take me away…
It ain't easy to say good-bye…
Darling please don't start to cry…
Cause girl you know I've got to go…
And lord I wish it wasn't so…
Save Tonight…
And fights the break of dawn…
Come tomorrow…
Tomorrow I'll be gone…
Save tonight…
And fight the break of dawn…
Come tomorrow…
Tomorrow I'll be gone…
It wasn't long before Gibbs and Jen said their good-byes and Jen was on her way home. "I'll wait." She said to herself. Both Gibbs and Jen knew the next few months were going to be rough but they believed that in the end everything would turn out right.
Tomorrow comes to take me away…
I wish that I, that I could stay…
But girl you know I've got to go…
And lord I wish it wasn't so…
Save tonight…
And fight the break of dawn…
Come tomorrow…
Tomorrow I'll be gone…
Save tonight…
And fight the break of dawn…
Come tomorrow…
Tomorrow I'll be gone…
Save tonight…
