Ever green or evergreen?

In the Phantom of the Opera, (movie, play, soundtrack, doesn't matter) one of the songs, which I don't know the name of, has a lyric that goes "We never said our love was [ever green, evergreen] or as enchanting as the sea." Either term would make sense, but which one is it? Thanks a ton!

Ever green or evergreen?sunshine

Think of me, think of me fondly when we've said goodbye.

Remember me, once in a while, Please promise me you'll try.

When you find, that once again you long to take your heart back and be free,

If you ever find a moment, spare a thought for me.

We never said, our love was ever green, or as unchanging as the sea,

But if you can still remember, stop and think of me.

Think of all the things we've shared and seen;

Don't think about the things which might have been.

Think of me, think of me waking silent and resigned;

Imagine me, trying too hard to put you from my mind.

Recall those days, look back on all those times, think of the things we'll never do.

There will never be a day when I won't think of you.

-- Think of me, lyrics from Phantom of the Opera
