"Beyond Tomorrow" is a song from the motion picture Serpico (1973), recorded by Perry Como on January 4, 1974.

Words and music are by Mikis Theodorakis (who was nominated for Grammy and BAFTA awards for the soundtrack) and Larry Kusik. Como was backed by the Ray Charles Singers and recorded the song at an RCA studio (studio "C") in New York City.

The catalog numbers of the 45rpm singles released are as follows:

It is a love song, starting with images of "waking spring" and "golden sunrise" with love as a summer harvest. It continues "Beyond tomorrow, the gift of lovers, waits bright and free." and ends with the two lovers standing alone against a cold sky.
