I'm going to put an image so you could see what I had in mind. This is not like placeholders that are present, unless some text is put inside the box.
The label doesn't go away when inputting new info.
a sample form field design, i don't know if this can be translated to code

Here's sample how you can do it
.input-with-label {
display: inline-block;
position: relative;
width: 200px;
}
.input-with-label input {
padding: 20px 5px 5px 5px;
}
.input-with-label .lbl {
position: absolute;
left: 5px;
top: 5px;
font-size: 12px;
opacity: 0.5;
}
<span class="input-with-label">
<input type="text" />
<span class="lbl">Contracted Authorites</span>
</span>
