Music Banter - Looking for a song

I'm looking for a song, I only know the tune but that's of no help here. However, I remember a few details from the music video. It's a song from the 80's or 90's. In the video there's a white guy wearing a white shirt and pants, I think he was walking barefoot by the river or ocean singing to or about a girl. A white flower was also featured extensively in the video, either on the girl's hair or being washed away in the river...The only lyric I remember from the song is"...I love you..." This is the best I can do. Anyone that has any ideas should please let me know. Thanks!
