According to Paul Williams, Barbra Streisand wrote the tune on guitar, and the lyrics for it were the last thing he wrote for the movie.

She sat down and played on a guitar, the melody for "Evergreen" that she'd written. It was just such a beautiful melody. I said, "There's your love song. There's the big love song." I asked her for the melody. She put it on tape for me, and I took it home. I actually wrote that as the last thing, which I think bothered her. But all the Kris Kristofferson stuff was the first thing up on the shoot schedule. So I wrote the songs for Kris first.
