Align vertically an image and two lines of text

I read many articles, many posts here, but unfortunately I can't center 2 lines of text and an image vertically.

<a class="button" href="">
    <img src="http://dummyimage.com/30x30/cf97cf/fff">
    Button
    <span>Button alt</span>
</a>

I would like the 2 lines next to the image (centered), and center the whole content vertically in the .button.

body {
    padding: 20px;
}

.button {
    background: #000;
    color: #fff;
    text-decoration: none;
    -webkit-border-radius: 5px;
    -moz-border-radius: 5px;
    border-radius: 5px;
    height: 120px;
    padding: 30px 50px;
    display: inline-block;
}

span {
    font-size: 11px;
    color: #ccc;
    display: block;
}

img {
    vertical-align: middle;
}

At CSS-Tricks I found an article, but I don't want to use position:absolute to center. Is there any clean way to center the texts/image in the <a>?

you can also wrap the text and span inside a div then wrap that div and img inside another div then add these classes:

also add display: inline-block; on your img

    .center {   
      position: relative;
      top: 50%;
      transform: translateY(-50%); 
    }
   .btnText {
      vertical-align: middle; 
      display: inline-block;
    }

JSFIDDLE DEMO

body {
    padding: 20px;
}

.button {
    background: #000;
    color: #fff;
    text-decoration: none;
    -webkit-border-radius: 5px;
    -moz-border-radius: 5px;
    border-radius: 5px;
    height: 120px;
    padding: 30px 50px;
    display: inline-block;
}
span {
  font-size: 11px;
  color: #ccc;;
  display: block; 
}
img {
  vertical-align: middle; 
  display: inline-block;
}
.center {  
  position: relative;
  top: 50%;
  transform: translateY(-50%); 
}
   .btnText {
  vertical-align: middle; 
  display: inline-block;
}
<a class="button" href="">
  <div class="center">
      <img src="http://dummyimage.com/30x30/cf97cf/fff">
      <div class="btnText">
        Button  
        <span>Button alt</span>
      </div>
  </div>
</a>

You can wrap img and span inside a div (with class center)

<a class="button" href="">
    <div class="center">
        <img src="http://dummyimage.com/30x30/cf97cf/fff">
        Button
        <span>Button alt</span>
    </div>
</a>

then add this css:

.center {
    position: relative;
    top: 50%;
    transform: translateY(-50%);
}

Explain: Set position of div with top 50%, then move it to top with 50% its height (translateY by -50%)

You can add display: table-cell to element with class .button and vertical-align: middle:

body {
  padding: 20px;
}
.button {
  background: #000;
  color: #fff;
  text-decoration: none;
  -webkit-border-radius: 5px;
  -moz-border-radius: 5px;
  border-radius: 5px;
  height: 120px;
  padding: 30px 50px;
  display: table-cell;/*change display to table-cell*/
  vertical-align: middle;/*add vertical align middle*/
}
span {
  font-size: 11px;
  color: #ccc;
  display: block;
}
img {
  vertical-align: middle;
}
<a class="button" href="">
  <img src="http://dummyimage.com/30x30/cf97cf/fff">Button
  <span>Button alt</span>
</a>
