Low voltage is what is stopping it. The click you hear is the solenoid engaging the starter. There is enough juice for that but not enough for the starter to spin the flywheel. If you had the lights on all that time it would be enough to drop it just to the threshold. Probably just on the edge of cranking. Let it sit a bit and see if that helps but odds are you will need to boost it.
