3 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 01/10/2009

Twice now when trying to start my 1997 Lumina lights come on and car won't turn over. Something must be going on with the electrical system. After getting out of the car and leaving the key on, the car kicked over. Any reason for this type for behavior. Granted I know the car is getting older, but at 87k miles it makes me uneasy to go on any long jaunts.
