It's not nearly as complex as English, but as usual we find ways to screw it up.

Take my hand and never let go.
(Watashi no) te o tsunaide, itsumo hanashinai.
(私の)手をつないで、いつも放しない。

The (watashi no) is the optional "my".

You came
Anata ga kita
あなたが来た

I've always liked you
Zutto anata ga suki datta
ずっとあなたが好きだった

Ever since we met
[Watashitachi] ga atta irai
[私たち]が会った以来

[Watashitachi] is "we", but depending on the gender of the speaker and formality of the situation, it can be changed to something else.

上天
Jouten
Heaven; God; upper region

上天気 = fair weather

下天 - have no idea. Doesn't seem to be a word in Japanese or Chinese. Maybe it was an attempt at writing "heaven" and "hell"? I tried substituting in some kanji that look similar, but still nothing.

天上 and 天下, what would it mean?
Sorry for bothering you with this question, but i got curious about it now... XD

Ooh, why didn't I think of that?
You think they're backwards? Because that makes more sense.

天上
tenjou
(the) heavens (like, up in the sky, etc)

天下
tenka
the world, a country... interestingly, also means "descent from heaven"
