HOW CAN I MAKE A STOPWATCH WITH A LABEL?
Please don’t write in all-uppercase; it’s irritating to read.

I guess it depends on the functionality you want in your stopwatch, but here’s a very simple example that simply accumulates the delta value that’s passed into the _process function when the “stopwatch” is running…
To run this, you’ll need a new scene with the following content:
Control
ButtonStart
ButtonStop
Label
Now, add this script to the root (Control) node:
extends Control
var running = false;
var elapsed = 0;
func _process(delta):
if (running):
elapsed += delta;
$Label.text = "%0.3f" % elapsed
func _on_ButtonStart_pressed():
running = true;
func _on_ButtonStop_pressed():
running = false;
Finally, connect both of the button’s pressed signals to the two signal handlers above (_on_ButonStop_pressed() and _on_ButtonStart_pressed()).
Additionally, you could add one more button to Reset the timer. Just add another button and wire its pressed event to this script addition (added to the same script above).
func _on_ButtonReset_pressed():
elapsed = 0;
