Sounds like the battery doesn't have enough power to finish cranking the engine over. If you are stranded, just get a set of jumper cables and jump the car from another. Or charge the battery enough to start it. Then as soon as you can replace the battery and have the electrical system checked to varify that there is nothing else wrong. Hopefully the battery just went bad, due to the age.
Another problem can be the starter is going bad. When it does,.... alot of times it starts to require alot more power then the battery can put out. But at this point we are getting ahead of our selfs. Put in a new battery and have the electrical system checked first.
Good Luck
