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. http://www.songfacts.com/blog/interviews/paul_williams/ "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."
