About the song
Imagine a world where the sky was dark and empty. No twinkling stars, no bright sun, just endless blackness. But then, one day, a magical girl, brave and strong, decided to make the world brighter. She climbed the highest mountain, higher than anyone had ever climbed before, and with a twinkle in her eye and a mischievous grin, she reached up and hung the moon in the sky!
Now, every night, we get to see her amazing work. The moon shines so beautifully, casting its silvery light on the world below. It helps us find our way home when it’s dark, and it tells us stories whispered on the wind. Some nights, the moon is full and round, like a giant silver coin. Other nights, it’s a thin sliver, like a tiny boat sailing across the sky.
Toby Keith’s song “I Know She Hung the Moon” is all about celebrating that magical girl. He sings about how special she is, how amazing her creation is, and how lucky we are to have her in our lives. He tells us that she’s the strongest person he knows, that she can do anything she sets her mind to. And he reminds us to appreciate the beauty she brings to the world, just like we appreciate the beauty of the moon.
Just like the moon has different faces, we all have different talents and gifts. Maybe you’re a fantastic artist who can paint beautiful pictures. Or maybe you’re a wonderful musician who can play a catchy tune. Or maybe you’re a kind and helpful friend who always knows how to make someone smile. Whatever your special talent is, remember that you’re like that magical girl who hung the moon. You have the power to make the world a brighter, more beautiful place.
So the next time you look up at the moon, remember the magical girl who hung it there. And remember that you have the power to shine brightly too. You have the power to make a difference in the world, just like the moon makes a difference in the night sky.

Lyrics
There’s no need to apologize
This happens time and time again
As soon as somebody lays their eyes on her
They dial right in
I watched you sneak a look
From the other side of the floor
And as I danced her by I watched you steal one more
You don’t have to tell me she’s beautiful
You don’t have to say things like one of a kind
You don’t have to wonder if she loves me man
I know that’s crossed your mind
Seems like everywhere we go
There’s always somebody staring at her
Yeah, I know she hung the moon
I’m the one that held the ladder
Now if you had half a chance
You’d probably make a play
Ah, but if you were to ask her to dance
She’d only turn you away
So you’ll never ever know
But buddy if you were in my shoes
You’d see she’s just as pretty on the inside too
You don’t have to tell me she’s beautiful
You don’t have to say things like one of a kind
You don’t have to wonder if she loves me man
I know that’s crossed your mind
Seems like everywhere we go
There’s always somebody staring at her
Yeah, I know she hung the moon
I’m the one that held the ladder
Yeah I know she hung the moon
‘Cause I’m the one that held the ladder
There’s no need to apologize
This happens time and time again
