Hi Hope:
It sounds like the battery was just about dead when you heard the clicking sound. That is a comon sound the starter makes when the battery is too low.

I recommend that you have the battery recharged and have a local parts store perform a load test on it. If it fails, the battery will need replaced. However, if it passes, then we will need to look for a different problem.

Let me know what you find.
