Not a lot to go on, but since it's turning over, either the engine isn't getting fuel to start, or doesn't have the compression it needs, or you have no spark. Since it was running it seems like you ought to have it all when you try to start, but something is going wrong. The vehicle is over 20 years old, it could be a problem with the fuel pump or perhaps a small leak in the fuel line somewhere that's bleeding off fuel pressure needed to start while the car sits. To test, get in like you're going to start the car, but only turn the key to the ON position, not all the way to Start. You should hear a buzz/whine noise like an electric motor. That's the fuel pump operating (it's inside the gas tank) Let it run for a few seconds, then try to start the car. If it starts up, you're losing pressure in the fuel line somewhere. Turning the key to ON for a bit before starting will get you by until you can get it looked at/repaired, but at least you'll know what the issue is.
