Vertical-align

I am trying to center the text in the middle. I tried line-height which came out with real bug. I also tried vertical-align:middle but nothing happens. What am i missing in my code and here is the screen short of my form https://gyazo.com/06f9bf4b635dc2eb210eed46010ef013

    <form method="#" action="#" id="contact-form">
    <fieldset>
     <legend>Don't Be Shy Just Say Hi To Me</legend>
              <p>
             <label for="firstName">First Name</label>
              <input type="text" name="first-name" placeholder="John" id="firstName">
              </p>
              <p>
                <label for="lastName">Last Name</label>
                <input type="text" name="last-name" placeholder="David" id="lastName">
              </p>

               <p>
                 <label for="email">Email</label>
                  <input type="emial" placeholder="JohnDavid@.com" id="email">
               </p>

               <p>
                <label for="Phone">Phone</label>
                 <input type="tel" id="Phone" name="phone-number" placeholder="900-285-7980">
               </p>
                <textarea name="message" id="message" placeholder="Hi there!"></textarea>

                <input type="submit" name="send" id="sendMessage" value="Send">

            </fieldset>
    </form>

You can add padding to the label element. jsFiddle: Demo

I hope this helps.
