Check your battery and ground leads, make sure they are clean and tight. You didn't say how old your battery is, but even though it may show a full charge it might not have enough cranking amps. You can take it to an auto parts store and they can check it out for you. Another possibility is the starter relay, the contacts should be clean. That's something you can buy at the parts store for around $5.

Look see if the lights dim when you hear the click. That is a quick indicator that the starter motor is probably getting power and gives you a direction to troubleshoot. If the lights dim, check battery and starter relay and starter connections for any obvious, "how the f'k did that happen," things then check that the battery volts do not drop below ~10 vdc with the start switch in start. If the lights do not dim when you hear the click and the volts at the battery do not drop a couple of volts, then you will need to check out the start relay and starter circuits for bad connections, bad relay, or bad starter motor.
